TSUGA CAROLINIANA Engelm. Coult. Bot. Gaz. 6: 223. Last fall I received specimens of this very ornamental hemlock from two new localities in North Carolina. Mr. A. M. Huger found groves of it at Banner's Elk, Watauga County, at an eleva tion of 1300 meters and in the Linville Gorge, Burke County, at about 575 meters above sea-level, the latter station, together with that at Tallulah Falls, Georgia, and the New River, Virginia, rep resenting the lowest altitudes at which the species has been found.
