480 Harper : Collection of Plants in Georgia 



suspected it to be an undescribed species, and photographed a 

 patch of it. This photograph is reproduced in Fig. 3. 



At the type locality D. odoratissima is accompanied by such 

 plants as Stenophyllus ciliatifoliiis (no. 696), Sniilax pitmila, Erio- 

 gonuni tomentosum, Siphonycliia Americana (no. 700), Chryso- 

 balamis oblongifolias (no. 698), Euphorbia cordifolia, Trichostema 

 lincare, Solidago odora (no. 699), and Actinospermam angnstifoliiun 

 (no. 697). The altitude of the type-locality is unknown, but the 

 altitude of the locality in Pierce county where I last saw the plant is 

 about 100 feet. This species grows in large patches, and its char- 

 acteristic odor was very noticeable from a moving train as I passed 

 through several of these patches the day I left Douglas. 



On examining the material representing the genus Dicerandra 

 in the Columbia University Herbarium, I found a fragmentary 

 specimen of what is evidently D. odoratissima, collected in Georgia 

 by Capt. LeConte, in 183 1. On the same sheet (which bears the 

 stamp of the Torrey Herbarium), was a plant collected in Florida 

 by Dr. Baltzell in 1839, which turns out to be Conradina puberula 

 Small,* a recently described species. Both were labeled " Ceran- 

 thera linearifolia Ell.," apparently in Dr. Torrey's handwriting, 

 Capt. LeConte's specimen doubtless came from somewhere in the 

 same region as mine, as he had a plantation in Liberty county, and 

 most of his Georgia plants were probably collected in that vicinity. 



Yeatesia laetevirens (Buckl.) Small, Bull. Torr. Club, 23: 



410. 1896 



Collected in low woods near the Flint River, in Dooly and 

 Sumter counties, September 3 and 1 o (nos. 582 and 630). This rare 

 species has been hitherto known in Georgia only from the collec- 

 tions of Dr. Small, who found it near Albany, about 30 miles 

 down the river. 



Houstonia rotundifolia Michx. 



* 



Collected in dry pine-barrens, Sumter county, August 23 (no. 

 454), and in dry sand near the Flint River, in Dooly county, Sep- 

 tember 3 (no. 573). This species has probably not been found 

 farther inland. My Sumter county specimens are the only ones I 

 have seen from the Lafayette formation, all the others in the her- 

 baria which I have examined being from the Columbia.
