Several of the above species reach the southern limit of their 

 ranges in this region. Juncoides pilosum, Corylus rostrata, Pyru- 

 laria pubera, Silene stellata, Anemone qiunqtiefolia, Hydrangea ar- 

 borescens, Viola hastata, and Solidago caesia have been collected 

 by Dr. J. K. Small in the vicinity of Stone Mountain, a few miles 

 farther south but at a higher altitude than my stations for the 



same species 



A few others extend down along the foothills to 



about the same altitude in eastern Alabama. Some of those 

 which seem to have never been collected farther south than I have 

 found them will be mentioned more in detail at the end of this 

 paper. 



In the drier and more open woods, including those on the 

 south sides of hills and the second-growth oak woods which are 

 frequent on the broad summits of the ridges, the flora is quite dif- 

 ferent from that of the rich shady original woods, although it is 

 in some places difficult to draw a sharp line between them, and a 

 few species are common to both. The following are some of the 

 characteristic species of dry w r oods : 



Pauicum coinmutatuni Schult 

 Stipa aveuacea L.

Danthonia sericca Nutt.
