previously known only from the type-locality, '*Iow meadows, in 

 rich moist soil near Rome/' in the Palaeozoic region ; but I 

 found it in the swamp of the Ocmulgee River in Twiggs County 

 about a mile above Westlake, on September 7. There it was 

 associated with two palmettos, Rhapidophylhtm Hysfrix and Sahal 

 Adansonii\ which are of course wanting at the type-locality. But 

 the two localities have at least one feature in common, calcareous 

 soil. My specimens came from a small tree about two inches in 

 diameter and fifteen feet tall. 



Petalostemon Feayi Chapm. 



Collected on the sand-hills of the Altamaha River in Liberty 

 County, September 14 {rio. /ppj) ; mostly past flowering. Pre- 

 viously known only from peninsular Florida. This plant bears 

 a striking resemblance to Knhnistera pinnata^ for which it might 

 easily be mistaken when not In flower. 



Geranium maculatum L, 



ft 



Seen in rich woods at several points in the northern half of 

 Randoph County, July 16, 17 and 18. Apparently not reported 

 from the coastal plain before.

 Tithymahis sphaerospermtis Small, Fl. S. E. States 719. 1903. 



Collected in dry sand (sand-hills ?) near the Flint River be- 

 tween the state line and Recovery, Decatur County, August 14 

 {fio. Tpji). Previously known only from Florida and Alabama. 

 (A chance to make a new combination will be noticed in the above

Staphylea trifolia L. 



Fruiting specimens were collected on August 1 1 on the bank 

 of the Chattahoochee River near Mill Port Landing, Decatur 

 County (just about opposite the southeastern corner of Alabama), 

 in latitude 31° {fw, 1^26), Altitude about 90 feet. The occur- 

 rence of this species here was quite a surprise, for it Is principally 

 confined to the mountains. The southernmost stations previously 

 known for it were Germain's Island in Columbia County, in the 

 Piedmont region, where I collected it in June, 1902, and the
