TRADESCANTIA MONTANA Shuttl.; Britton, in Britton & Brown, Ill. Fl. r : 377. fig. 911. 1896.
Mr. C. D. Beadle has distributed specimens of this Alleghenian Thadescantia from the Biltmore Herbarium, which match the original specimens of Rugel more closely than any others that I have seen. The plants from Biltmore are somewhat larger and more advanced than the specimens on which the species was founded but come from the same general region. The original
specimens are accompanied by the following record : In pre eruptis reg. med. mont. Broad River Ms., Carolina Sept. legit Rugel, Jun. 1841.
