HARPER: DISTRIBUTION OF PLANTS OF THE COASTAL PLAIN 599 
NYMPHAEA ADVENA Ait. 
First seen in Swift Creek in the northern part of Craven 
County, North Carolina, which is perhaps as far south as it extends 
in the coastal plain. In 1906 I saw it only in ditches in the 
southeastern end of Halifax County, in the same state. 
NELUMBO LUTEA (Willd.) Pers. 
Grows in Aquia Creek and other estuaries of the Potomac 
River in Stafford and Prince William counties, Virginia. This 
is just about where Professor Ward saw it in 1885.* 
PHORADENDRON FLAVESCENS (Pursh) Nutt. 
Last seen near Northwest, Norfolk County, Virginia, on Acer 
rubrum. (Farther south it is oftener on Nyssa biflora.) In 1906 
I saw it a little farther north, on the Blackwater River near Zuni. 
ERIOGONUM TOMENTOSUM Michx. 
Common on the fall-line sand-hills of South Carolina. Last 
seen in Kershaw County about 8 miles northeast of Camden. 
PLANERA AQUATICA (Walt.) Gmel. 
Seen this time only in the Savannah River bottoms, in Hamp- 
ton County, South Carolina. 
QUERCUS PALUSTRIS DuRoi. 
First noticed in Caroline County, Virginia, a little south of 
Milford. This is the farthest south I have ever seen it. 
Quercus Prinus L. ; 
Seen three times in the pine-barrens between Tom’s River 
and Ocean Gate, New Jersey, where it had doubtless been observed \. 
by many other botanists before. I mention this here because 
very few other coastal plain stations for it are known. Long 
Island is in a certain sense nearly all coastal plain, but on that 
interesting island I have seen this oak only in the hilly northern 
or glaciated portions.| Dr. Shreve in his recent Plant Life of 
Maryland has reported it from a few counties in the upper part 
of the coastal plain of that state, and Mr. E. W. Berry tells me 
that he is sure he has seen it in the coastal plain of Virginia, but 
mney not remember the exact locality. Pinchot & pane es exelent

knows of a station for it near Woodmere, in the flat part of the islan 
Mr. E. P. Bicknell has since informed me that he
