566 HARPER: PINE-BARREN VEGETATION OF MISSISSIPPI 
Dichromena latifolia Baldw. First noticed in the lower edge 
of Forrest County and last in the upper part of Jackson County. 
Usually accompanied by Lophiola aurea. 
Serenoa serrulata (Michx.) B. & H. In Mississippi this is 
rarely seen more than five miles from the coast. 
Eriocaulon decangulare L. Seen first in the eastern part of 
Marion County and last in Jones County; extending farther inland 
than many of the more typical pine-barren plants. 
Lophiola aurea Ker. First in the lower edge of Forrest County, 
last in the lower edge of George County. 
Myrica inodora Bartr. Arborescent in a non-alluvial swamp 
near Moss Point, Jackson County. 
Quercus pumila Walt. What I take to be this species was seen 
from the train three or four times in dry pine-barrens in Jackson 
County on July 18th. It does not seem to have been reported 
from Mississippi before, or even from Alabama; but Professor 
Tracy tells me that he has seen it somewhere west of Biloxi. 
Quercus Catesbaei Walt. In Mississippi this seems to be 
commonest between 50 and 75 miles from the coast. I have 
seen it as far inland as Marion, Perry and Wayne Counties. 
_ Sarracenia Sledgei Macfarlane. This species, which takes the 
place of S. flava in Mississippi, was seen in 1913 first in the lower 
part of Lamar County and last near Lucedale, George County; 
both localities being about 45 miles inland. Along the Mobile 
& Ohio R.R., however, it extends up into the southeastern 
corner of Wayne County, about 63 miles from Mobile. 
Sarracenia rubra Walt. A few specimens were seen in low 
pine-barrens northeast of Buckatunna in I9I1I. 
Magnolia macrophylla Michx. Occasional in rich soil near the 
Pearl and Leaf Rivers. More common in the loess region west 
of the pine-barrens, in Franklin County, as was noted by Hilgard 
in 1860.* 
Crataegus aestivalis (Walt.) T. & G. In shallow ponds, where 
the red clay is near the surface, near Agricola, George County, 
July 18, 1913; and perhaps also near Buckatunna, Wayne County, 
October 18, 1908. 
Polygala cymosa Walt. Seen first near Ten Mile, Harrison 
* Geol. & Agric. Miss. 323-324. (§ 703).
