20 HARPER: EXPLORATIONS IN THE COASTAL PLAIN 
am not aware that any botanist now living has seen it in that part 
of the state. 
LACHNOCAULON BrEyRICHIANUM Sporleder; Koernicke, 
Linnaes, 27> §07. 1954 
In rather dry pine-barrens near the eastern edge of Okefinokee 
Swamp in Charlton County, August 9 (vo. 1497); also above 
high-water mark on the sandy shore of Ocean Pond, Lowndes _ 
County, September 4 (zo. 7607). Previously known in Georgia 
only from the type-locality, ‘‘ad ripas paludum prope Ebenezer,” 
where it was discovered by Beyrich about seventy years ago. 
Dr. Morong, in his remarks on this species,* erroneously places 
Ebenezer in Middle Georgia. The original Ebenezer, visited by 
Beyrich, was on the Savannah River in Effingham County, but is 
now extinct or nearly so. In later years there have been two ~ 
or three other Ebenezers in Georgia, and it was probably one of — 
these which misled Dr. Morong. |

ERIOCAULON TEXENSE Koernicke, Linnaea, 27: 594. 1854 } 
Collected on July 2 in flat pine-barrens near Huntington, 
Sumter County, in a place which was quite dry at the time, but 
becomes a shallow pond in wet weather (zo. 7395). Previously — 
known only from Texas. (The reference to Florida under this 
species in Dr. Small’s Flora is an error, probably typographical, 
Georgia having been intended.) This species is about intermediate 
in appearance between £. compressum and E. decangulare, and if | 
it has been seen elsewhere in the East it has probably been mis- 
taken for one of these other species. 
TRADESCANTIA COMATA Small 
In rich woods on Germain’s Island in the Savannah River, 
Columbia County, 15 or 20 miles above the fall-line, June 7 (72. 
7296). Altitude about 175 feet. Previously reported only from 
the mountains.
