Eustis until late in August, whereas this plant flowers early in the 
spring. 
700. “XOLISMA FRUTICOSA (Michx.) 
(Andromeda ferruginea fruticosa Michx.) This certainly is 
specifically distinct from Xolisma ferruginea, which grows from 
6-12 feet high, has light green leaves which are very much rolled 
in on the margins, and flowers early in March. X. fruticosa never 
attains a height of more than 6 feet, has a much stricter habit, 
very dark leaves which are not revolute, and does not flower until 
two months later. This difference is quite marked in herbarium 
specimens, but in the field there can be no mistaking it. 
573. Vaccinium stamineum L.? 
This occurs in very dry sandy soil, and has much smaller 
leaves than usual. They are thick, somewhat rugose and of a 
light green color. The true plant occurs in similar situations, but 
is much larger and thinner leaved. 
941, 1698. Fraxinus epiptera, Michx. 
-In the herbarium of Columbia College there are two things 
placed under /. platycarpa. One of these has fruit over half an 
inch wide, elliptical in outline, gradually narrowed at each end. 
The other has linear-oblong fruit” This latter I found in quan- 
tity in the cypress swamps and it is evidently distinct from the 
broad-fruited form. Its leaves are thicker and entire, or occasion- 
ally with very obscure serrauion. It grows from 20-50 feet high 
and fits very well the description of the F. efiptera of Michx.,and I 
have called it that. The broad-fruited one is F. platycarpa. 
796. Asclepias Feayi Chapm. 
This was obtained in but one place, in the low pine land. Its 
pure white flowers, large in proportion to the size of the plant, 
make it very conspicuous. 
419. Asclepias decumbens L. 
This is very common in the high pine land country. Although 
it is hard to detect any difference between the flowers of this 
species and A. suderosa, in the fruit the characters seem to be 
good. The latter has a pod about 3 inches long and 34 of an inch 
wide, while in A. decumbens the pod is considerably longer than
