HARPER: PINE-BARREN VEGETATION OF Mississipp1 567 
_ County (about 27 miles inland), and last in the upper edge of 
Jackson County. Commonest within a mile or two of the coast. 
P. ramosa is more widely distributed, extending inland to Marion 
and Jones Counties. 
Drosera filiformis Tracyi (Macfarlane) Diels. First about 
two miles north of Ocean Springs, Jackson County (not far from 
Professor Tracy’s home), and last in the lower edge of George 
County. 
Cliftonia monophylla (Lam.) Sarg. Extends inland to near 
Nugent, Harrison County, and Lucedale, George County. Cyrilla 
racemiflora, which sometimes associates with it, prefers richer 
soils and is less restricted in range. 
Ilex myrtifolia Walt. In shallow ponds, Jackson County. 
Ilex glabra (L.) Gray. Extends inland to Marion and Jones 
Counties, like Eriocaulon decangulare. 
Rhexia Alifanus Walt. (R. glabella Michx.). Extends inland 
to the eastern part of Marion County and the southern part of 
Perry, but still farther in Alabama, as does the preceding. 
Oxypolis filiformis (Walt.) Britton. Noticed first near Missis- 
sippi City, Harrison County, and last between Moss Point and the 
Escatawpa River, five or six miles from the coast. 
Sabbatia macrophylla Hook. First near Lumberton, last 
between Hintonville and Glazier, Perry County. 
Sabbatia decandra (Walt.) Harper. In a shallow pond near 
the middle of Jackson County, July 18, 1913. 
Sabbatia gentianoides Ell. Flat damp pine-barrens near 
Fontainebleau and Moss Point, Jackson County. 
Stokesia laevis (Hill) Greene. Noticed first in Forrest County, 
and last between Bexley and Merrill, George County. Common- 
est in the upper part of Harrison County; and not observed within 
14 miles of the coast. I have also seen it a few times in Mobile 
County, Alabama, and once in the corresponding part of Georgia.* 
Carphephorus Pseudo-Liatris Cass. In flat damp pine-barrens 
near the coast, Jackson County. 
Many of the species above mentioned show a tendency to 
extend farther inland eastward than westward (and still more so 
in Alabama and Georgia), which appears to be correlated with 
the seasonal distribution of rainfall as much as — else.
