bank. The locality where I saw it growing was about one quarter 
of a mile north of River Junction. In this spot there were 
some twenty or thirty trees. The tree is conical in outline, the 
branches horizontal and widely spreading. The foliage is a fine 
deep green, the upper surface shining. The odor of the bruised 
leaves is very disagreeable, as I discovered on climbing one of the 
trees, and the local name of “stinking cedar” is well applied. The 
leaves are also quite sharp-pointed and irritate the skin consider- 
ably, causing an unpleasant burning sensation. On my first visit 
in August I succeeded in finding only one tree in fruit. On my 
next visit, on September 5,1 discovered further up two or three 
more fruiting specimens. 
The tree is evidently having a hard struggle to maintain itself. 
In the locality visited by me it occupies the very extremities and 
sides of the small ridges extending from the high pine land out 
into the river swamp. I could find none in the low-lying ground 
at the base of the ridges nor in the high pine land further back. 
Its evident inability to thrive in the very low land and the antag- 
onism of the other surrounding trees which are better suited to 
the environment make its final extinction apparently certain. 
No. 2381. 
Paspalum arenarium Schrad. In the low pine land around 
Eustis, Lake Co. Not very common. No. 2074. 
Paspalum racemosum Nutt. Rare. Found in the pine land at 
River Junction, Gadsden Co. In the living state the plant has a 
decidedly glaucous hue. No. 2579. 
Cenchrus gracillimus Nash. Further observation of this grass 
in the field confirms the disposition I made of it last year. It is 
very distinct from C. tribuloides. This grass is very common 
around Eustis, Lake Co., but its occurrence in the northern and 
western parts of the State was not noticed. No. 1766. 
Cenchrus incertus M. A. Curtis. Quite common in the pine 
land at River Junction, Gadsden Co., but not seen east of that 
place, nor in the peninsula. It is very distinct. The broader 
spines, and the entire absence of reflexed spines at the base of the : 
involucre, giving it a naked appearance, well distinguish it from 
any form of C. wibuloides. No. 2580.
