HARPER: COASTAL PLAIN OF THE CAROLINAS 316 
TILLANDSIA USNEOIDES L. 
Common nearly all the way through South Carolina, especi- 
ally in Colleton and Berkeley counties; but much rarer in ° 
North Carolina, where I saw it in only five counties, and only once 
in each. Last noticed near the Roanoke River in Halifax County. 
RYNCHOSPORA SEMIPLUMOSA Gray 
In rather dry pine-barrens near Wrightsville, N. C. Not pre- 
viously reported northeast of Georgia. 
Pinus pALustris Mill. 
It seems almost superfluous to add anything to what Mohr, 
Pinchot and Ashe have already written about this important tree 
in their well-known bulletins, cited above, but I might say that I 
observed it in every county passed through in the Carolinas except 
Charleston, S. C., and Nash, N. C. (I have very few notes, though, 
from these two counties). It becomes very scattered toward its 
northern limit, however, and I did not see it in Virginia at all. In 
fact, I know of no one who has seen it in that state in the last 
decade or two.* 
Pinus Erutiotru Engelm. 
The range of this in South Carolina is very limited, and I saw 
it only in Hampton County and near the borders of the adjoining 
counties of Barnwell and Colleton. It perhaps does not grow 
within thirty miles of Charleston. Many notes on its occurrence 
in Hampton and Beaufort counties can be found in Bulletin 43 of 
the U. S. Bureau of Forestry, under the name of “Cuban pine.” 
Pinus TaepA L. 
This is undoubtedly at present the commonest tree of the whole 
region, having been seen nearly every mile of the way, in every. 
county passed through, in all three states. It varies considerably
