boundary between Fayette and Coweta counties. At the time I 

 described it I knew of no floating-leaved Nymiphaea outside of the 



* 



r 



glaciated region and coastal plain. 



QuERCus Catesbaei Michx. 



On dry rocky northern slopes (apparently not on the summit) 

 of the Pine Mountains near Warm Springs, which is a few miles from 

 where I found it in 1901. It is accompanied there usually by 

 two related species with similar leaves, Q. coccinea and Q.georgiatm, 

 and always by Finns pabistris. 



QuERCUS laurifolia Michx. 



On sandy banks of Big Potato Creek in the Pine Mountains, 

 Pike County. This seems to be the first station on record for this 

 oak in Middle Georgia, but I had already found it about the same 

 distance above the fall-line in Alabama.f 



Myrica carolinensis Mill, 



Grows about four feet tall in the Meansville flatwoods {rio. 

 2256). Rare in a damp ravine on the north side of the Pine 

 Mountains between Meansville and Barnesville in the same county.

Like the preceding, this had not been --known to occur outside of 



M 1 



the coastal plain in the South until I found it in upper Alabama 

 in 1 906. J 



Myrica pumila (Michx.) Small. 



With the preceding, about two feet tall (no. 22^1). Dr. Mohr 

 had reported this from Cullman County, Alabama, but otherwise 

 it was known only in the coastal plain, and at very few places out- 

 side of the pine-barrens. 



Smilax laurifolia Walt. 



In two or three branch-swamps between Zebulon and Means- 

 ville, Pike County, September 19. This too was previously un- 

 known in Middle Georgia, but Dr. Gattinger found it long ago in 

 East Tennessee, and the writer in 1905 on Lookout Mountain, 

 Alabama, § and later in Randolph and Chilton counties, in the 

 metamorphic region of the same state.

 original description of this species.
