On the morning of May 31, 1940, members of the Southern Appalachian Botanical Club, the Muhlenberg Botanical Club, and the Sullivant Moss Society met at Romney, W. Va. for a joint foray into one of the most picturesque sections of W. Va. Under the leadership of Dr. Earl L. Core, Dr. H. A. Davis, and Mr. Wilbert Frye, the party drove north on Route 28 to Springfield where the first stop was made. Among the more unusual plants found here were Krigia virginica (L.) Willd., Paronychia dichotoma (L.) Nutt. and Talinum teretifolium Pursh. The last named species is not known to occur elsewhere in W. Va. The study here was hampered and definitely curtailed by the rapidly rising waters of the South Branch of the Potomac which overflowed the road in some places.
