Many plants which prefer rich, calcareous, clayey or alluvial soils are 

 of course conspicuous by their absence here. There do not seem to be even 

 any hickories, willows, elms, haws, maples, dogwood or persimmon. But this 

 region, like no. 12, has decidedly more rare plants than the larger and more 

 fertile region immediately north of it. Cyrilla parvifolia, Crookea, Chrysopsis 

 flexHosa and Baptisia simplicifoUa are not known outside of Florida, and Pieris 

 pliillyreifolia, Myrica inodora. Pitcheria and Polypteris are comparatively rare 

 in other states. The fact that there are four species of Myrica and three 

 of Baptisia is noteworthy. There seem to be almost no weeds: 



About 66% of the trees and a still larger proportion of the shrubs and vines 

 are evergreen. As in the Bellair sand region, the percentages of Ericaceae 

 (among the shrubs) and Leguminosae (among the herbs) are both well above 

 the average, being 31 and 28 respectively. Although more thorough exploration 

 might reduce these figures a little, it is safe to say that this region contains a 

 larger proportion of native leguminous plants than any other in northern
