Harper : On the Flora of South Georgia 431 



Ludwigia pilosa Walt. Fl. Car. 89. 1788 



Collected in wet places near Leslie, August 31, 1897. This 

 species does not seem to have been collected so far inland before. 



Jussiaea leptocarpa Nutt. Gen. 1 : 279. 18 18 



In wet ditches, Americus. This seems to be its northeastern- 

 most known station. 



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



181. 1896 



Sparingly introduced along roads and railroads, Americus and 

 eastward. 



Nyssa uniflora Wang. Beitr. Forstw. Nordam. Holz. 83. //. 27. 



f-57- U87 



Grows in the swamps of Muckalee Creek a mile or two below 

 Americus. It probably does not extend much farther from the 

 coast, in Georgia at least. 



Kalmia latifolia L. Sp. PI. 391. 1753 



Forms small thickets on the banks of Muckalee Creek in 

 Americus and a short distance south of the city, with Magnolia 

 grandiflora. I know of no more southern station for this species. 



Fraxinus Carolixiana Mill. Gard. Diet. ed. 8, no. 6. 1788 

 In Muckalee Creek swamps below Americus. Inland limit? 



Chioxaxthus Virgixica L. Sp. PL 8. 1753 



On muddy banks of Muckalee Creek below Americus, with 

 Sab al glabra, Quercus lyrata % Nyssa uniflora, Fraxinus Caroliniana, 

 etc. Here it becomes a tree 6-8 meters tall and about 3 dm. in 

 diameter at the base, appearing very different from the shrub which 

 represents the species in Middle Georgia. Not noticing that its 

 leaves were opposite, I mistook this Chionanthus tree for a Nyssa 

 for two or three years, and it appears that the same mistake has 

 been make by collectors in other states. 



Cyxoctoxum sessilifolium (Walt.) Gmel. Syst. 2 : 443. I79 1 

 Occurs in sandy bogs near Americus, flowering in July and 

 August. Inland limit.
