About 80% of the trees and shrubs are evergreen, about one- 

 third of the shrubs (both individuals and species) belong to the 

 heath family (Ericaceae) and allied families, and leguminous 

 plants are very scarce, as already observed in the portions of this 

 region situated farther north. 



This region does not cover enough of any one county to enable 

 us to study it statistically, but it is evidently very thinly settled. 

 Lumbering, turpentining and grazing seem to be the leading indus- 

 tries, and several of the shrubs could furnish a great deal of honey 

 if there were enough people living near to take advantage of the 

 fact.
