Harper : Collection of Plants in Georgia 465 



A leaf from the first collection (no. 547), 5.5 mm. wide, not 

 twisted, and perfectly dry, sustained a weight of 27 pounds with- 

 out breaking. 



Sporobolus compressus (Torr.) Kunth. 



Collected in moist pine barrens, Sumter county, with ^S. Flori- 

 danus y August 3 1 (no. 549). Previously reported only from Long 

 Island and New Jersey, so that my discovery extends the known 

 range of this species southwestward about 700 miles. Identified 

 by Prof. Scribner, of the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture. Rhexia 

 arisfosa, another New Jersey plant, was found a short distance 

 away a few days earlier (see below). 



Eustachys Floridana Chapm. 



In dry sand near Gum Creek, Dooly county, September 3 (no. 

 57i), with Cenchrus incertns and Paronychia riparia. The northern- 

 most station previously reported for this species is Bainbridge, 

 which is about 100 miles farther down the Flint River. Like 

 Cenchrus incertus, it seems to be confined to the Columbia forma- 

 tion. 



Cyperus squarrosus L. 



Abundant in sandy soil along the streets and railroad in Doug- 

 las. > Collected September 22 (no. 674). This I believe is the first 

 time it has been reported in this country north of Florida. 



Cyperus refractus Engelm. 

 Grows in dry rocky woods in Athens, with C. ntrofractus, 

 which it much resembles. Collected June 20 (no. 17). Not 

 previously reported from Georgia. 



Kyllinga brevifolia Rottb. 



K. monocephala Torr. 



Collected in most soil on Tybee Island, September 29 (no. 

 % 753)- I find no record of any station farther north than this. 



Kyllinga odorata Vahl 

 In muddy places in the northern part of Americus, August 27 

 (no. 503). Altitude about 350 ft. Not previously reported north 

 of Florida.
