18 JOURNAL OF THE ARNOLD ARBORETUM 1vol. iv. 



Of the following list of woody plants nearly all have been noted or 

 collected by the writer in the Fulton region. In a few cases species have 

 been included on the evidence of herbarium specimens preserved at the 

 Arnold Arboretum, chiefly collected by Mr. B. F. Bush, who visited the 

 locality several times and made extensive collections there. Some omis- 

 sions doubtless occur, as no attempt was made while in the field to compile 

 a list for the entire region. 



PINACEAE 



Pinus taeda L. Often common in flat upland woods, but usually growing 

 in mixed stands with Hickories, Oaks and other broad-leaved trees. 



Pinus echinata Mill. Growing in similar situations as the last species 

 but less common. 



Juniperus virginiana L. Nowhere very abundant but most frequent 

 on clay slopes and barrens along the escarpment; sometimes also found in 

 low woods and on banks of ravines in the sand hills. 



Taxodium distichum (L.) Rich. One of the largest and most striking 

 trees, growing in swamps and along the margins of lakes and bayous. 



GRAMINAE 



Arundinaria macrosperma Michx. A common shrub of the lowlands 

 and along the margins of sandy bogs. Extensive cane-breaks, however, 

 are not developed in this section and the canes seldom exceed two or three 

 meters in height and three or four centimeters in diameter. 



PALMAE 



Sabal minor (Jacq.) Pers. Often common and growing in large patches 

 in the low swampy woods and also sometimes found in bogs in the sand 

 hills section. 



LILIACEAE 



Smilax rotundifolia L. Low woods and thickets; often abundant. 

 Smilax glauca Walt. Common in low swampy woods and sandy bogs. 

 Smilax bona-nox L. Abundant in dry thickets and clay barrens; also 

 growing in low fields and along railroads. 



Smilax lanceolata L. A tall growing species found in rich sandy woods 

 and bogs. 



Smilax laurifolia L. Growing in similar situations to the last and of 

 like habit. 



JUGLANDACEAE 



Juglans nigra L. Sometimes growing to a good size in well drained 

 upland woods, but nowhere very common. 



Gary a pecan Engl. & Graeb. Not uncommon on river banks and in low 

 woods. 



Carya cordiformis (Wang.) K. Koch. A rather abundant species in low 



woods where it grows to a large size, trees 30 to 35 meters in height and
