There are so many different trees in this heterogeneous region that 



the one that heads the list is less abundant here than it is in northern 



Florida as a whole, and the same might be said of many others. The only 



tree that reaches its maximum abundance here seems to be the bay, 



Magnolia glauca, and that is true only in the western and middle divisions. 



A phytogeographer could draw many interesting conclusions from a com- 

 parison of the three columns of percentages, but only a few will be pointed out 

 here. It seems that Pinus Taeda, Magnolia glauca, M. grandiflora, Pinus glabra, 

 Cornus florida, Pinus echinata, Liriodendron, Fagus, Quercus Michauxii, Ilex 

 opaca, Quercus alba, Oxydendrum, Salix, Mains, Nyssa uniflora, Quercus Mary- 

 landica, Cyrilla racemiflora, Cliftonia, Nyssa Ogeche, Symplocos, Bignonia, 

 Decumaria, Ilex glabra, Rhapidophyllum, Arundinaria tecta, Pinckneya, Crookea, 

 Sabal glabra, Leucothoe axillaris, Quercus pumila, and Aesculus are decidedly 

 more abundant in the western half than in the southeastern, while the reverse 

 is true of Pinus palustris, Liqiddamber, Quercus falcata, Q. Catesbaei, Q. Vir- 

 giniana, Taxodium disticlnwi, Quercus laurifolia, Q. cinerea, Hicoria (all spe- 

 cies), Tilia, Sabal Palmetto, Celfis, Persea Borbonia, Acer Negundo, Morus,
