Harper : On the Flora of South Georgia 



and a few from Asia, but the majority are natives of Georgia. It 

 may be worthy of note that there are very few species of trouble- 

 some weeds in this section. 



The dry or rich woods which are so characteristic of Middle 

 Georgia are of small extent in South Georgia, and comparatively 

 few species inhabit them. In the following list of plants growing 

 in woods I have combined both rich and dry woods, as in South 

 Georgia the two kinds are scarcely distinguishable.

Falcata comosa (L.) Kuntze. Hieraeiuni Gronovii L. 



All the plants mentioned so far are found outside of the pine- 

 barren region. In the pine-barrens the flora is very different, and, 

 to me at least, the most interesting of all. 



At this point it might be well to state that the term pine-barren 

 is a very inappropriate one, for the soil of the pine-barrens seems 

 to be just as fertile as any other soil in the region, if not more so. 

 This term is not used by the natives, but has been used so univer- 

 sally in botanical works that it has come to have a very definite 



meaning.
