The following trees are much less abundant here than in some of the neigh 

 boring regions, and some of them may be entirely absent: Pinus serotina (black 

 pine), Juniperus (cedar), Cbamaecy pan's (juniper), Hicoria glabra (hickory). 

 Quercus PlieUos (willow oak), Quercus Catesbaei (black-jack oak), Gordonia. 

 and Persea. Some of these prefer rich soils like those of the Marianna red 

 lands, and some sour swamps and sandy ridges, which are much more common 

 in the adjacent pine hill region (no. 7). 



Most of the species which are more abundant here than in other regions 

 grow in pine lands and cj^press ponds. It is interesting to note that Nyssa 

 Ogeche, Quercus puniila, Viburnum ohovatum, Facelis, and other species not 

 listed above are known in Georgia but not in Alabama, and Myrica inodora, 

 Pitcheria, Chrysopsis oligantha and a few others in Alabama but not in Georgia, 

 while Cyrilla parvifoUa and one or two of the rarer herbs seem to be confined 

 to Florida. 



About 65% of the trees are evergreen, 12% of the shrubs are Ericaceae, and 

 6% of the herbs are Leguminosae. All these figures are not far from the aver- 

 age for northern Florida; but the percentage of evergreens would have been 

 somewhat higher before the lumbermen cut out so much of the long-leaf pine. 



♦Includes two forms, one in high and one in low pine land, which 

 may some day be treated as distinct species. See Ann. N. Y. Acad. Sci. 

 77:293-294. 1906.
