414 HARPER: VEGETATION OF THE COASTAL PLAIN 
but not into Georgia. It has been described by Kerr* and by 
Ashe,t but they did not clearly indicate its boundaries, and it is 
indeed difficult to do so. A pretty good description of a part of 
it is the U.S. soil survey of Robeson County, by W. E. Hearn and 
others, published in October, 1909. 
Pinus Taeda is the prevailing tree, this being far out of the 
range of P. Elliottii, which occupies somewhat similar habitats 
farther south. The woods are mostly rather open, with a her- 
baceous vegetation much like that of regular pine-barrens. While 
traversing this region on July 27, 1909, my observations were 
hindered somewhat by frequent showers, but the following list is 
probably representative enough.

Sarracenia flava, which was not seen at all between Savannah 
and Hamlet, here occurs in abundance. Marshallia graminifolia 
likewise appears in this list for the first time. A few of the rarer 
plants will be mentioned more Bie in a subsequent paper.
