A new population of Aeschynomene virginica (L.) BSP. (sensitive joint-vetch), a member of the Fabaceae, was located on the James River in 1998. Five plants were found on 2 September within a 2.0 by 4.0 m area at the edge of a channel that drains an extensive freshwater tidal marsh at the north end of Turkey Island. Five additional plants were located on 14 October within a 2.0 by 2.5 m area 1.1 km to the north along Turkey Island Creek in a similar habitat. The new stations represent the furthest known upstream locations for the species on the James River.
