stems there range from one-half of an inch to one foot in diame- 

 ter, and the thickets they form remind one of those made by the 

 grouth of Kalmia latifolia and Rliododcndron maximum on the 

 higher mountains of North Carolina. 



Acer leucoderme Small, Bull. Torr. Club, 22: 367. 1895. 



When first described, this species was thought to be confined 

 to the middle country of the Southern States, but my extensive 

 journeys in Georgia last season brought to light two new stations 

 in the foothills of the Blue Ridge and the AUeghanies ; one is the 

 deep carion just below the precipice of Toccoa Falls, the other a 

 shallow cation along the Little Chickamauga creek near Ringgold. 

 Both stations are similar to the original, and at both the tree holds 

 all its characters. 



Acer Floridanum (Chapm.) Pax, Engler's Bot. Jahrb. 7: 243^ 



1886. 

 This characteristic maple is apparently very common in the 

 river swamps of the Flint River in southwestern Georgia Last 

 summer I encountered a remarkable growth just below Albany. 

 It probably follows the river to its mouth, for I again met it in the 

 vicinity of Bainbridge. The trees are conspicuous on account of 

 their close white bark and very dark foliage. Although said to be a 

 small tree 1 measured many trunks that were three feet in diam- 

 eter. 



Vaccinium hirsutum Buckl. Am. Journ. Sci. 45 : 175. 1844. 



In April, 1893,1 discovered this local and little-known huckle- 

 berry on the southern clififs of the cation at Tallulah Falls, Georgia. 

 This apparently is the first collection since the original discovery 

 by Buckley in Cherokee County, North Carolina. In 1894 Prof. 

 A. Ruth found the shrub on the Cade's Cove Mountains in eastern 

 Tennessee, thus adding the third station and the third State in 

 which the species is known to exist.
