338 Harper: Flora of Middle Georgia 



Elaeagnus hortensis Bieb. Fl. Taur. Cauc. I : 112. 1808 



Common in dry woods in the southern part of Athens, appear- 

 ing perfectly at home. Flowering in April. This plant has evi- 

 dently been long established, and I have been unable to trace its 

 origin. It does not seem to be cultivated in the vicinity at the 

 present time. 



Hartmannia speciosa (Nutt.) Small, Bull. Torr. Club, 23: 181. 



1896 

 In May, 1896, 1 found a colony of this western species flourishing 

 and blossoming by the roadside between Florence and Bostwick, 

 Morgan Co., and in other similar localities a little later. It does 

 not seem to have been reported from middle Georgia before. 



Panax quinquefolium L. Sp. PI. 1050. 1753 



A few plants in rich shady woods near Bobbin Mill Creek, Clarke 

 Cp. Altitude 6 1 o feet. This seems to be the southernmost known 

 station for this species in North America. 



Scandix Pecten -Veneris L. Sp. PI. 256. 1753 



One specimen found on the University campus, Athens, with 

 nearly mature fruit, April 25, 1896. The locality was obliterated 

 the following winter, and I did not see the plant again. 



Daucus pusillus Mx. Fl. Bor. Am. 1 : 164. 1803 



In dry fields, Athens, at altitudes from 600-700 feet. This is 

 one of the northernmost stations known for this species. 



Leucothoe Catesbaei (Walt.) Gray, Man. ed. 2, 252. 1856 



On shaded banks of both rivers, Clarke Co. Altitudes 580- 

 675 ft. This is probably near the southern limit of this Alle- 

 ghanian species. 



Galax aphylla L. Sp. PI. 200. 1753 



In rocky woods on both banks of the Middle Oconee River, 

 Clarke Co., rare. Altitudes 600-675 ft. In flower May 28, 1897. 

 This is its southern limit, so far as known. 



Lysimachia Nummularia L. Sp. PI. 148. 1753 



This species does not seem to have been reported from the 

 Southern States. It is very abundant in open meadows along
