Starvine (Schisandra glabra (Brick.) Rehder) is rare but perhaps more common than records indicate in the Southeastern states (Duncan, 1967).

The orchid flora of western Pennsylvania was given in Castanea 40:93-168, 1975, in an article by L. K. Henry, W. E. Buker and D. L. Pearth.
An atlas of maps of Virginia, showing county occurrence of every species, plus some botanical history, geology, soils, climate, etc. Well done, but some explanations are needed: should the lycosphens still be called “Fern Allies”? It seems that most botanists would disagree here.
Although somewhat dated, this book is very popular, and has sold over 70,000 copies to date. It is a practical, down-to-earth (no pun intended) book for the average person wanting to raise house plants.
By its own admission, this biology text . . . “is intended for the under-graduate student who wants a comprehensive introduction . . . .”
A large (8 1/2 x 11 inches) volume, said to be “a descriptive resource inventory”.
A note from J. R. Massey says the Herbarium of the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, has a number of back volumes and issues of the Journal of The Elisha Mitchell Scientific Society. Write The Herbarium, Coker Hall 010-A, UNC-Chapel Hill, N.C. 27514 for list.
35 species in 14 families are reported for what is believed to be the first time for Kentucky. Another 10 species are reported for only the second time. These are based on collections largely made by the junior author and principally in western Kentucky in continuation or our botanical studies of the area.
Leavenworthia uniflora (Michx.) Britton (Cruciferae) has the widest geographical range of any of the 11 taxa in the genus, and it is the only one that is not considered threatened or endangered. In southeastern United States, L. uniflora is restricted to cedar glades and other limestone barrens. Populations are infrequent, small in size, and in number of individuals. In Kentucky the species has been collected in seven counties, but some of the collections are very old. Extant populations presently are known to occur on cedar glades in Logan, Simpson and Warren Cos. The geographical distribution pattern qualifies L. uniflora as a rare species in Kentucky, and probably throughout its range. We propose that L. uniflora be added to the list of rare and endangered vascular plant species in those southeastern states in which it occurs.
A floristic survey of “The Hammock,” Florida’s first State Natural Feature to be recognized under a new program for preserving typical examples of the State’s original land forms, is presented. A description of the major plant communities, an annotated list of species, and a brief historical account is given. Three hundred and thirty-six species from 100 families are reported.
