166 Harper: Explorations in Georgia 1903 



where I collected it on the morning of September 22, long past 

 flowering {710. 201 1)."^ None of the plants were over three or four 

 feet tall. Elliottia is a very ordinary-looking bush when not in 

 flower, and might easily be mistaken for something else, particu- 

 larly for Diospyros virginiana^ a small form of which sometimes 

 grows in similar situations. 



Azalea Candida Small 



Seen only on outcrops of Altamaha Grit, in Tattnall County, 

 June 24 {rio. i8§8) and 26, and in the northeastern corner of Coffee 

 County, September 11. Previously reported only from the type- 

 locality in Lowndes County, but on what formation is not known. 

 At the time I collected it, it was long past flowering ; f and the 

 flowers are not yet known, except from a few shrivelled fragments 

 on the type-specimens, which were collected at about the same 

 time of year as mine. This species is probably nearest related to 

 A, cancscens Mx. 



Dicerandra odoratissima Harper 



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

 County, September 14. Here the corollas were often slightly 

 tinged with pink, making an approach in this respect to the other 

 species of the genus. Captain LeConte's specimen (mentioned in 

 my original description) % may have come from near this place. 



Pentstemon dissectus Ell. 



After having been lost to science for seventy years or so, 

 this species was collected on outcrops of Altamaha Grit near the 

 Ohoopee River in Tattnall County on June 24, in fruit {no. 18^6), 

 and seen in similar situations in Dooly County on August 29. It 

 has a rather interesting history. It was described by Elliott from 

 specimens sent '' from Louisville, Georgia," by James Jackson, § but 



*On May li, 1904, I revisited this spot and found that it had just been burned 

 over and the Elliottia completely denuded, but most of the specimens were putting out 

 new leaves again, 



t On April 26, 1904, I revisited the spot, and it was just past flowering then.

§ This James Jaclcson, afterward a professor in the University of Georgia, seems to 

 have been a son of the General James Jackson who was governor of Georgia from 1798 

 to xSoi, at which time Louisville was the capital of the state.
