RuHEXIA FLoripANA Nash, Bull. Torr. Club, 22: 150. 1895. 
This Rhexia, hitherto known from but a single locality in 
Florida, is now known to occur in Georgia. I collected fine speci- 
mens of it during the past season north of the St. Mary’s River, in 
the neighborhood of hammocks, in Charlton county. Their char- 
acters show nothing different from the originals, except that my 
specimens are more robust. 
‘ JUSSAEA SUFFRUTICOSA L. Sp. Pl. 388. 1753. 
Dr. Carl Mohr has found this plant established on the river 
bank at Mobile, Alabama. This is the first record of its occur- 
rence within the Southern States. 
GayussaciA ursINA (M. A. Curtis) T. & G.; Gray, Mem. Amer. 
Acad. (II). 3: 49. 1846. 
While in the mountains of northern Georgia, in the summer of 
1893, I found this rare Gaylussacia at three localities. It is quite 
scarce in the canon at Tallulah Falls and produces little fruit, but 
some miles north, on the North Carolina boundary, the damp 
mountain slopes about Estotoah Falls and the Thomas Bald are 
covered with the shrub, growing from one to four feet tall and 
producing quantities of the large black fruit, which is not at all 
insipid, as has been stated. On some mountains it covers areas 
many acres in extent.

inently nerved; flowers usually in a somewhat compound termi- _ 
nal cyme; calyx narrowly campanulate, 2.5—3 mm. long, parted — 
to below the middle, its segments ovate-lanceolate, obtuse, den- — 
ticulate ; corolla at length much longer than the calyx, whitish, 3-5 
mm. long, marked with dark stripes (3 to each segment), its tube _ 
somewhat constricted at the throat, about as long as the linear- 
lanceolate, erect or converging, rather obtuse segments ; capsule 
sessile or nearly so, 4 mm. long, its two horns slightly longer than . 
the body, converging; seeds brown, .3 mm. long, ovoid, rather 
pointed at the apex, slightly and minutely pitted. ae
