stems there range from one-half of an inch to one foot in diame- 
ter, and the thickets they form remind one of those made by the 
growth of Kalmia latifolia and Rhododendron maximum on the 
higher mountains of North Carolina. 
ACER LEUCODERME Small, Bull. Torr, Club, 22: 367. 1895. 
When first described, this species was thought to be confined 
to the middle country of the Southern States, but my extensive — 
journeys in Georgia last season brought to light two new stations 
in the foothills of the Blue Ridge and the Alleghanies; one is the 
deep cajion just below the precipice of Toccoa Falls, the other a 
shallow cafion along the Little Chickamauga creek near Ringgold. 
Both stations are similar to the Sree and at both the tree holds 
all its characters. 
Acer FLoripaAnum (Chapm.) Pax, Engler’s Bot. Jahrb. 7: 243 
1886. 
This characteristic maple is apparently very common in the 
river swamps of the Flint River in southwestern Georgia. Last 
summer I encountered a remarkable growth just below Albany. 
It probably follows the river to its mouth, for I again met it in the 
vicinity of Bainbridge. The trees are conspicuous on account of 
their close white bark and very dark foliage. Although said to bea 
small tree 1 measured many trunks that were three feet in diam- 
eter. 
VACCINIUM HIRSUTUM Buckl. Am. Journ. Sci. 45: 175. 1844. 
In April, 1893, I discovered this local and little-known huckle- 
berry on the southern cliffs of the cafion at Tallulah Falls, Georgia. 
This apparently is the first collection since the original discovery 
by Buckley in Cherokee County, North Carolina. In 1894 Prof- 
A. Ruth found the shrub on the Cade’s Cove Mountains in eastern 
Tennessee, thus adding the third station and the third State in 
which the species is known to exist.
