298 FLORIDA GEOLOGICAL SURVEY SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT. 



most of those within a mile or two of the coast are devoid of 

 woody plants (the reason for this is not yet evident), and might 

 be designated as savannas or prairies. The vegetation along Ot- 

 ter Creek is much like that along small creeks in the flatwoods, 

 while that along Buckhorn Creek includes short-leaf pine, sweet 

 gum, and other plants indicating a moderately rich soil. The 

 coast is bordered by salt and brackish marshes. 



Plants — The following list is based on observations made on 

 April 21 and June 19, 1910, and July 30, 1914. It cannot be very 

 complete, especially for plants that bloom in fall, and the percent- 

 age figures are omitted.
