  Growing 
  with 
  A, 
  atlantica, 
  beneath 
  Finns 
  Taeda 
  and 
  P. 
  serotina, 
  

   in 
  low 
  pine 
  flat-woods, 
  northeastern 
  South 
  Carolina 
  and 
  adjacent 
  

   parts 
  of 
  North 
  CaroHna, 
  Like 
  A. 
  atlantica, 
  the 
  species 
  above 
  

   proposed 
  flowers 
  before 
  the 
  leaves 
  are 
  fully 
  grown, 
  a 
  character 
  

   which 
  separates 
  these 
  two 
  plants 
  from 
  all 
  forms 
  of 
  A, 
  viscosa^y^nth. 
  

   which 
  they 
  grow 
  but 
  which 
  flow^er 
  two 
  months 
  later.

  W. 
  Ashe 
  in 
  May, 
  1916, 
  near 
  Georgetown, 
  South 
  

   Carolina. 
  Living 
  plants 
  from 
  the 
  original 
  collection 
  have 
  since 
  

   been 
  cultivated. 
  A. 
  atlantica 
  differs 
  from 
  this 
  plant 
  in 
  having 
  

   white 
  flowers 
  which 
  become 
  purplish 
  as 
  they 
  wilt; 
  a 
  longer 
  tube 
  

   to 
  the 
  corolla; 
  the 
  tube 
  glandular-viscid 
  and 
  also 
  the 
  backs 
  of 
  the 
  

   lobes, 
  which 
  are 
  shorter 
  than 
  the 
  tube; 
  and 
  light 
  green 
  foliage., 
  

   slightly 
  pale 
  but 
  not 
  glaucous 
  beneath. 
  The 
  tube 
  of 
  the 
  flower 
  

   of 
  A, 
  neglecta 
  is 
  not 
  viscid, 
  and 
  the 
  rose-colored 
  flowers 
  have 
  a 
  

   shorter 
  tube 
  and 
  longer, 
  more 
  slender 
  lobes 
  than 
  those 
  of 
  A 
  . 
  atlantica.

  Although 
  this 
  species 
  occurs 
  as 
  far 
  north 
  as 
  Pennsylvania 
  it 
  is 
  

  

  w 
  

  

  regarded 
  as 
  a 
  mountain 
  species. 
  What 
  seems 
  to 
  be 
  a 
  dwarf 
  

   form, 
  however, 
  has 
  been 
  found 
  at 
  Great 
  Falls, 
  Virginia, 
  on 
  the 
  

   Potomac 
  River, 
  which 
  adds 
  it 
  to 
  the 
  flora 
  of 
  Washington, 
  D. 
  C. 
  

   It 
  flowers 
  freely 
  there 
  in 
  early 
  summer 
  as 
  a 
  shrub 
  less 
  than 
  3 
  dm. 
  

   high. 
  Low 
  flowering 
  plants 
  of 
  this 
  kind 
  have 
  never 
  been 
  noted 
  

   for 
  this 
  species 
  in 
  the 
  Appalachian 
  Mountains 
  where 
  it 
  is 
  best 
  

   developed.
