Distribution of Phlox ovata, [Alabama: The record for Monroe County published by Mohr^ is shown by his material in the National Herbarium to have been based on occurrences of P. Carolina.] [Florida: Brand^ included this state in the range of P. ovata, citing a specimen **Rafinesque n. ; As there is no other report from anywhere near its boundaries, however, an error in identification or labelling is believed to have oc- curred.] Georgia : Exceptional this far south, specimens having been seen only from Dade County, at the northwest corner of the state. 1 Plant Life of Alabama 685. 1901. 2 In Engler's Pflanzenreich IV. 250: 63. 1907. Indiana: Found locally toward the east side, in Allen, Clark, Jay, Jefferson, and Whitley counties. [Kentucky: Although no specimens have been seen, this species no doubt occurs in the eastern uplands, over which it presumably migrated in reaching the Ohio-Indiana area.] Maryland : Eecorded by Shreve^ from Allegany County. [Massachusetts: Escaped in Berkshire County.] North Carolina: Abundant in the Blue Ridge province, and extending, as do many other mountain plants here, well out into the Piedmont. The county list is: Ashe,^ Avery,' Buncombe,' Burke, Caldwell,' Forsyth,' Franklin,' Jackson, Madison,' Orange,' Polk, Rockingham,' Stokes,' Surry,' Wake,' and Yancey.' Ohio: Specimens have been seen from Fulton, Highland, and Lucas counties, the last b
