Five plants (Disporum maculatum, Stylophorum diphyllum, Synandra hispidula, Collinsia verna and Triosteum aurantiacum), previously known from fewer than five counties of Virginia, have been found in an unusual locality in Scott County. The site is significant for two reasons: these species are always rare and local in Virginia, and this is the only locality known to contain them all. Physical factors responsible for this unique habitat are availability of nutrients and moisture, exposure, and disturbance by man. The Virginia distribution and habitat preferences of several species are discussed, and all associates are listed.
