The title of Gerald F. Levy’s paper on the front cover of Castanea, Vol. 48, March 1983 should read: “A Study of Vegetational Dynamics on Parramore Island, Virginia.”
In “Aira caryophyllea in the Missouri Ozarks” from Notes & News, December 1982 (Castanea 47(4):409), the fourth paragraph of the text read: “Aira elegans L. “, it should read “Aira elegans Willd….”
Three large, self-maintaining, presumably natural populations of Thuja occidentalis, the northern white cedar or arborvitae, were found on shaded north-facing Conococheague limestone cliffs along the Potomac River in Washington Co., Maryland.
In June 1978 Edward Schell discovered small, scattered populations of Streptopus amplexifolius (L.) DC on Roan Mountain in both Mitchell Co., North Carolina, and Carter Co., Tennessee.
Elaeagnus pungens Thunberg is not listed by Thomas and Allen (1981, 1982) as occurring in Louisiana.
Brown and Brown (1972) stated that the gray birch (Betula populifolia Marsh.) had been reported from Maryland, but they provided no further information nor did they include the species in their keys.
Recent botanizing in the Elliott Knob area of Great North Mountain of Augusta County, Virginia, has added a second population of Trillium pusillum Michx. var. monticulum Bodkin & Reveal. This discovery adds another location for this rare montane trillium in western Virginia and extends the range southward into another county.
Senecio pauperculus Michx. is reported as new in Mississippi and additional records are reported from other southeastern United States.
Harperocallis flava McDaniel (Harper’s beauty), a federally endangered species, occurs along a 32-kilometer stretch of SR 65 in Franklin and Liberty Counties, Florida. Previous estimates of populations at the three known stations were less than 100 plants. In May 1982 additional colonies were found along SR 65 and along the Apalachicola Northern Railroad in Liberty County. A revised estimate of 6,000 Harper’s beauty plants is reported. Habitat studies and management plans are needed. In view of the apparent threat by collectors, the restricted range of the species, and the lack of knowledge pertaining to species biology, continued endangered status for Harper’s beauty is recommended.
