No attempt is made to include in this list any plants of dunes 
and marshes which were seen only at Wrightsville Beach, or any 
species whose apparently greater abundance in that vicinity was 
probably due only to the fact that I spent a few hours on the 
ground in New Hanover County, and nowhere else in North 
Carolina. The species listed here all grow in dry, intermediate or 
moist pine-barrens or in branch-swamps, and the reason for their 
frequency near Wilmington and comparative scarcity a hundred 
miles away in either direction is as yet obscure, though he prob- 
ably connected in some way with the geological peculiarities men- 
tioned above. The fact that the vicinity of Wilmington 1s a sort

this only once, in moist pine-barrens near Wrightsville. In the spring of 
1794 Michaux found it near Wilmington, and 65 miles north of there. I have not 
come across any authentic published record of its occurrence outside of eastern North 
Carolina.
