John K. Small descriptae. 
(Ex: Bull. New York Bot. Gard. III [1905], pp. 420 — 440.) 
1. Stenophyllus Carteri Britton, l. c., p. 420. 
Annual, bright green: leaves erect; blades setaceous, ciliate; sheaths 
scarious: scarpes tufted, 0,5 dm tall, very slender, scabrous near the top: 
bracts of the involucre mostly 3, one of them longer than the inflorescence, 
blades ciliate-serrulate: spikelets numerous, in a terminal compound umbel, 
mainly ovoid, few-flowered; scales brown, acute, ciliate-scabrous along 
the margins: achenes obovoid, about 0,5 mm long, depressed at the apex, 
minutely papillose, the tuberele very small. 
A characteristic species, related to Stenophyllus coarctatus (Ell.) Britton: 
differing in the ciliate leaf-blades, the ovoid spikelets and the small achene. 
Florida: The type-specimens were collected in the pinelands bet- 
ween Cocoanut Grove and Cutler in XI, 1903 (Small & Carter, no. 1263). 
2. Limodorum pinetorum Small, l. c., p. 421. 
Perennial by thiek corm-like rootstoeks: leaves few, the outer one 
or two reduced to sheathing scales, the inner erect; blades narrowly 
linear, 0,5—1,5 dm long: scape 1—2,5 dm tail: perianth deep rose-colored: 
median sepal oblong-lanceolate, 12—14 mm long, acute; lateral sepals 
oblong-ovate, 10,5—11,5 mm long, acutish: petals 11—12 mm long, the 
blade oblong or nearly so: lip 10—11 mm long, middle lobe cuneate, 
6—8 mm wide, crested in the middle, nearly truncate at the apex and 
mucronate: column-wings half-orbicular, 
Related to Limodorum multiflorum. which had broadly ovate lateral 
sepals, a proportionately much wider lip with the crest extending to the 
margins, and rhombic column-wings. 
Florida: The type-specimens were collected in the pinelands along 
the homestead trail, between Cutler and Camp Longview in V, 1904 
(Small & Wilson, no. 1676). 
3. Quercus Rolfsii Small, Le p. 422. 
A rigid shrub, or a small tree becoming 7 m tall, with ascending 
branches, the twigs light brown: leaf-blades cuneate in outline, leathery, 
2,5—6 cm long, mostly 3-lobed at the apex, or sometimes 5 lobed, bright 
green, glabrous and finely reticulated above, pale and thinly stellate- 
pubescent beneath, the lobes mostly blunt and not bristle-tipped: acorns 
usually in pairs at the ends of short peduncles; cup hemispheric above 
a stout base, 1,5—1,8 cm high, about 1,5 cm broad, the scales appressed, 
densely whitish pubescent except at the tip; nuts oblong, or slightly 
broadest below the middle 2—2,5 em long, about !/ included in the cup. 
A very characteristic species, especially on account of the deep and 
peculiarly shaped cup of the acorn. In the arrangement of the oaks 
adopted in my Flora of the Southeastern United States this plant would
