Dr. Edward G. Voss calls my attention to two errors I let slip by in the June 1982 issue (47:2) of Castanea; his letter follows, and I think is pertinent
The Award Committee of the Lawrence Memorial Fund is pleased to announce that Ms. Janet R. Sullivan of the University of Oklahoma was selected to receive the 1982 Lawrence Memorial Award.
In Arbak and Blackwell, “The Chenopodiaceae of Ohio,” Castanea 47(3):284-297, the senior author’s name was inadvertently misspelled. The authors should read “Zella E. Arbak and Will H. Blackwell.”
In 1957 Giesy listed 331 species of mosses as occurring in Ohio. Since that report only four additional species have been added to the moss flora (Kellough 1961, Robinson & Hermann 1964, Robinson 1966).
On July 5, 1981 I found Drosera filiformis and D. intermedia growing in Cranesville Swamp, Preston County, West Virginia. As far as I know, this constitutes a state record for both species.
Twelve plant communities ranging from dry-mesic bottomland forest to sandstone and igneous glades occur in Hawn State Park, which is on the eastern edge of the Ozark Plateau in southeastern Missouri. Seven vascular plant species which are rare or endangered in Missouri occur within the area. Geum virginianum, a taxon previously unreported in the state, occurs in the area.
The known range of the primarily northeastern Spiranthes ochroleuca is extended southward into the Appalachian Mountains of western North Carolina. In this region it occurs on wooded slopes and reaches peak flowering in late September and early October.
In 1955 a campfire near Waterrock Knob in the Plott Balsam Mountains escaped and burned about one hectare of mature red spruce-Fraser fir forest. The resultant forest community contains some of the species commonly associated with mature logged spruce-fir forests, but many of the species present are primarily disturbance species associated with fire cherry communities and grass and heath balds. A severe fire, burned soils, and erosion are probably responsible for the dense shrub layer, unique species composition, and slow recovery of this site.
Floristic data and county dot distribution maps are presented for fifteen species and one interspecific hybrid of the Primulaceae in the Ohio flora.
