reported more or less indefinitely from the last two. In Virginia 

 only S. flava is certainly known (and that is scarce), but there are 

 vagaie references to 8. purpurea in the literature. (In the remaining 

 States the species will he listed as nearly as possible in order of 

 abundance.) 



l!^orth Carolina has four species: fiava, purpurea, minor, and 

 rubra; and one h^^brid, S. purpurea x fiava. 



South Carolina has the same, probably' in the same order of abund- 

 ance, with /S'. minor x fiava added. 



Georgia has six good species, fiava, minor, psittacina, Drummondii, 

 rubra, and purpurea, possibly also the subspecies ^S*. fiava oreophila, 

 two unmistakable liyl)rids, psHfdcina x Dvinor and minor x fava, 

 and what appears to be *S'. fiava x Drummondii. 



Florida has the same true species as Georgia, but in a difterent 

 order, about as follows: minor, psittacina, Drummondii, fiava, pur- 

 purea, rubra. Also two simple hybrids, purpurea x fiava and pw- 

 purea x Drummondii, and what appears to be a compound hybrid. 



Alabama has six species, Drummondii, purpurea, Sledgei, fiava, 

 jmttacina, and rubra, one subspecies, fiava oreophiia, and three 

 hybrids, purpurea x fidva, purpurea x Drinnmondii, and fiava x 

 Drummondii. 



Mississippi has Sied(/ei and psittacina, and possibly also purpurea, 

 rubra, and Drummondii at the extreme eastern edge of the State. 



In Louisiana only Sledgei and psittacina are certainly known, and 

 in Texas only ^S*. Sledgei. 



Xaturally a great deal has been written about this interesting fam- 

 ily of plants, but the short notes, other than a few already cited in the 

 foregoing pages, are too numero\is, and the longer papers mostly too 

 inaccessible, to be mentioned in a popular article like this. It must 

 be acknowledged here, however, that most of the facts above set forth 

 that are not based on personal experience are taken from Professor 

 ^facfarlane's writings, particularly his 30-page monograph of the 

 family in Knglcr's Ptlaii/.cnreich, published in 1008. That contains 

 references to the mo.-:t important previous literature, some of which 

 I have also used.
