368 . HarpER: COASTAL PLAIN OF THE CAROLINAS 
vicinity of Hampton, Va.,* and Elizabeth City, N. C., + by Chicker 
ing, and near Weldon, N. C., by Ward ;{ all these places being- 
within 125 miles of each other. In Georgia it behaves quite dif- 
ferently, being chiefly confined to flat rocks; § and at the time it 
was described it was known only from Flat Rock, a large granite 
exposure in Kershaw County, S.C. This, together with the fact 
that it has not been reported from any natural habitat in the Dismal 
Swamp region, suggests that it may have been introduced there in 
comparatively recent times. More information about its distribu- 
tion is greatly to be desired. 
ACANTHOSPERMUM AUSTRALE (L.) Kuntze 
A few years ago || I noted the gradual spread of this tropical 
weed northward along railroads in North Carolina. This time I 
saw it at several stations (7. ¢., railroad stations) in the pine-barrens, 
then in Gates County, and finally across the state line in Nanse- 
mond County, Virginia. So it is now to be added to the flora of 
the Manual region.§ 
Limonium Nasuirt Small. 
A plant which looks exactly like this species as I have seen it 
on the Georgia coast, and does not fit the description of LZ. caro- 
lintanum, was seen in considerable quantity just back of the dunes 
on Wrightsville Beach, N. C. It seemed to be the only Limonium 
there, and is doubtless the “ Statice Limonium ? (Masonborough)” 
of Curtis’s catalogue,** and the Statice caroliniana of Wood & 
McCarthy’s Wilmington Flora.++ Z. Nashii has not been previously 
reported north of Georgia.
