tum Lam.). While the two species are similar in habitat, their — 
ranges are different. Near the southern border of the state, in the 
counties of Lowndes, Brooks and Thomas, £. zxtegrifolium alone | 
occurs, while fifty miles farther north, in the vicinity of Tifton, I 
have seen only &. Ludovictanum. But around Moultrie, an inter- ' 
mediate point, both species occur, often together, without showin 
any tendency to intergrade. 
E. integrifolium has much the wider range, even in Georgia, — 
where it is found in the metamorphic region as well as in the © 
coastal plain. It is represented by wo. 7672, from Valdosta, 
September 5, and E. Ludovicianum by no. 1664, from Colquitt — 
County, September 24. : 
PANAX QUINQUEFOLIUM L. | 
In rich shady woods northwest of Cuthbert, Randolph County ; ; 
also on the high bluff along Samochechobee Creek in Clay — 
County. Rarely found so far south, these localities being below : 
latitude 32°. I have heard several rumors of the occurrence of | 
this much-sought plant elsewhere in the coastal plain, but most — 
of these on being investigated prove to be based on Jetragonotheca 
helianthoides L., a totally dissimilar plant which in some unac-— 
countable way has also received the name of “ ginseng,” * and | 
moreover is said to possess valuable medicinal properties, being , 
“good for rheumatism.”’ : 
CHIMAPHILA MACULATA (L.) Pursh 
A few specimens seen on September 29 in rich woods neaf 
Little River southwest of Tifton, Berrien County. This species: 
does not seem to have been found so far south before.

The authorship of this combination is usually credited to Gray | 
(Proc. Am. Acad. 12: 66. 1876), but it was published in Wood's. 
Class Book several years earlier. I collected this species in full _ | 
bloom in wet pine-barrens in Coffee County near Douglas, July 
18 (zo. 1426), and observed it in similiar situations in several othef
