370 HARPER: COASTAL PLAIN OF THE CAROLINAS 
seem to have been reported from eastern North Carolina before, 
but there is no known reason why it should not grow there, for 
in Georgia and Alabama it follows the larger rivers some distance 
down into the coastal plain.* 
CYRILLA RACEMIFLORA L, 
Seen a number of times, mostly in pocosins, in Columbus, 
Brunswick, New Hanover, Pender and Duplin counties, N. C., but 
nowhere else on this trip. I cannot imagine why I did not see it 
in South Carolina, for it is common in Georgia; or farther north 
than Duplin County, for it has been reported from Beaufort County, 
N. C., by McCarthy,+ within a mile of the Virginia line by Michaux 
(February 23, 1794), and from Virginia by Ward { and Heller. § 
EUPHORBIA ERIOGONOIDES Small. 
Observed in the outskirts of Florence, S. C., with & maculata, 
in sand along a railroad track, which is just the usual habitat of 
both in South Georgia. In fact only two natural stations for Z. 
ertogonoides are known, both in the Altamaha Grit region of 
Georgia.|| It has not previously been reported northeast of 
Georgia. 
POLYGALA LUTEA L, 
This has been mentioned above as one of the plants which is 
evidently more abundant in southeastern North Carolina than in 
adjacent territory. I might say further that I noted it thirty-one 
times (in seven counties) in North Carolina, and once in Virginia, 
but not once in South Carolina, though it is common enough in 
the pine-barrens of Georgia. 
PLATANUS OCCIDENTALIS L. 
The only object in mentioning this common tree here is to 
place on record something probably not generally known, namely, 
that in the pine-barrens of the Carolinas it seems to be confined
