 skirts of this region and the watershed between the Coosa and Talla- 

 poosa rivers, xerophile plant associations prevail almost exclusively. 

 The steep hills of siliceous cherts and o])durate sandstone, Avhich reach 

 scarcely an elevation of 1,000 or 1,200 feet, support an inferior growth 

 of the upland oaks named before, and pignut hickory, with the long- 

 leaf pine scantily interspersed between the hardwood trees and stunted 

 sassafras and persimmon, with sumac {Rhm aq^alUnti. R. (/hihra) iov
