 Flatwoods 



The following trees which are more or less common elsewhere in the 

 same latitude are rare or wanting here: — Finns echinata (short-leaf pine), P. 

 glabra (spruce pine), Chamaecyparis (juniper), Salix nigra (willow), Betula 

 (birch), Fagus (beech), Quercus alba (white oak), and several other oaks, Lir- 

 iodendron (poplar), Crataegus (haws) Frunus (plums), Ilex opaca (holly), 

 Tilia (lin, basswood), Corniis florida (dogwood), and Nyssa uniflora (tupelo 

 gum). Most of these probably prefer more clayey soils than those of the East 

 Florida flatwoods, but some no doubt are kept away by other reasons. 



Two trees, Finns Elliottii and Gordonia, two shrubs, Bejaria and Cholisma 

 fruticosa, and many herbs, are evidently more abundant here than elsewhere in 

 northern Florida; but just what combination of environmental conditions it is 

 that makes them so it is hard to say. The shrubs that grow in the flatwoods 

 nearly all have extensive underground stems, which are not killed by fire, as 

 already noticed in the lime-sink region; while those that grow in hammocks and 

 swamps probably have no such protective device. The great majority of the 

 herbs grow in the open pine forests, and nearly all of them have perennial under-
