OF GEORGIA DURING THE SEASON OF 1902 21 
day (wo. 1295). Very few stations for this in the Southeastern 
States are known, probably no other in Georgia. 
MELANTHIUM DISPERSUM Small 
Several specimens collected in a sandy bog in the pine-barrens 
east of Folkston, Charlton County, in full bloom on the morning 
of August 12 (zo. 7506). Previously known only from a single 
imperfect specimen from Walton County, Florida, collected by A. 
H. Curtiss in 1885. J7. Virginicum, its nearest relative, flowers 
a month or two earlier in Georgia. 
Uvuraria Froripana Chapm. (Oakesiella Hloridana Small) 
Not rare, in rich damp woods, Dublin, Laurens County, with 
full-grown fruit in June (zo. 7363). Seen in October in similar 
situations near Cuthbert. The fruit, which has not hitherto beem 
described, furnishes additional characters for distinguishing this 
species from its congeners. The capsule is always acuminate, 
tapering into a short beak, instead of being obtuse as in the two 
related species, U. pudberula and U. sessilifolia. The bracted pe- 
duncle mentioned by Chapman, but overlooked by Small, seems 
to be also a perfectly constant character which is not shared by 
the other species. 
CROOMIA PAUCIFLORA (Nutt.) Torr. 
Collected in rich shady woods on the bank of the Chattahoo- 
chee River in Quitman County, October 16 (xo. 7757), with flow- 
ers and fruit all gone. This is doubtless the only station in 
Georgia now known for this rare plant. Its resemblance to 
Smilax ecirrhata, which grows with it, is striking. 
Sattx FLoripana Chapm. 
I refer tentatively to this almost unknown species specimens 
collected in wet woods at the outer (eastern) base of the sand-hills 
of the Ocmulgee in Pulaski County below Hawkinsville, June 27 
(zo. 1381). My specimens were slender erect trees about ten feet 
tall and two inches in diameter, with tasteless bark roughish below 
and smooth above. The twigs were very brittle not only at the 
bases but throughout. No trace of fruit was found, but my ma-
