On a Collection of Plants made in Georgia in the Summer of 1900 



By Roland M. Harper 



(With Plate 29) 



Having made plans to spend the past summer in studying the 

 flora of Georgia, I left New York on the 14th of June, 1900, and 

 arriving in Georgia the next day. While passing through North 

 Carolina on the morning of the 1 5th, I noted an extension of range 

 of an introduced plant, which might be mentioned here. At Aber- 

 deen, Moore county, I found Acanthospenmnn aiistrale (L.) Kuntze 

 growing beside the track. This station is considerably farther 

 north than the one mentioned in a previous paper,* and is prob- 

 ably the northernmost yet reported. In the same county, among 

 other things of interest, I saw Sarracenia flava L. for the first time. 

 It was quite abundant in moist pine-barrens from Lemon Springs 

 to Aberdeen, a distance of about 22 miles. 



N My first stop in Georgia was at Athens, where I had collected 

 many interesting plants in previous years. Here I spent about 

 three weeks, collecting plants numbered 1 to 161, all in Clarke 

 county. During June my operations were considerably inter- 

 fered with by unusually frequent rains, and on this account I did 

 not have a chance to visit some of my favorite localities in adjacent 



counties.

On July 8th I went to Atlanta, where I was joined by 



Percy Wilson, of the New York Botanical Garden, who accom- 

 panied me during the next four weeks. 



During a week spent in Atlanta we made trips to several points 

 of botanical interest in the vicinity. On the afternoon of the 9th 

 we collected along the bank of the Chattahoochee River in Cobb 

 county, and on 10th we spent the day at Stone Mountain, in DeKalb 

 county, which has been made famous by the researches of Porter, 

 Ravenel, Canby, Gray, Small and several other botanists. Fig-

 tant, showing the precipitous north side.
