It is interesting to note that among 57 species here listed as 
growing in the pocosin there is only one fern, and such large 
families as Gramineae, Cyperaceae, Leguminosae and Com- 
* An unidentified—and probably undescribed—oak, somewhat similar in ap- 
pearance to Q. marylandica Muench. and Q. arkansana Sarg., but apparently more 
closely related to Q. nigra L. (Q. aquatica Walt.), Q. myrtifolia Willd. (as that species 
is commonly interpreted), and Q. microcarya Small. I have never seen anything like 
it t grows mostly toward the edges of the pocosin, but not in the sand- 
hill vegetation. It is one of the commoner species there, as indicated by its position 
in the list, and it is difficult to understand how Dr. Mohr overlooked it if he visited 
this same spot, unless he was there only in winter, when it was leafless. (FIG. 3-)
