hills oi Gum Swamp Creek {no. ig86) and its continuation, the 

 Little Ocmulgee River. The bushes were about a meter tall, and 

 just beginning to flower. In the Torrey Herbarium there is a 

 specimen collected by Croom still farther inland, on the sand-hills 

 of Brier Creek, Georgia (doubtless on the Augusta-Louisville road,

In moist undulating pine-barrens about a mile east of Recov- 

 ery, Decatur County, August 14 (no. ipJ2) ; so rare that I could 

 find only two or three good specimens. This locality is near the 

 extreme southwest end of the Altamaha Grit region. The species 

 has been previously reported only from Florida, but on what for- 

 mation it is of course not stated. 



Antennaria solitaria Rydb, 



Abundant at one place in rich shady woods near Cuthbert, 

 July 28 (jw. ipoj). This is the only station known for it in' the 

 coastal plain, with the exception of Carpenter's original station in 

 Louisiana,* which probably has not been rediscovered, A. plan- 

 taginifolia, which I have also never seen farther south, grows in 

 drier places in the same woods. 



AcANTHOSPERMUM HisPiDUM DC, Prodr. 5: 522. 1^16 



Rather abundant \\\ waste places along the river road in the 

 outskirts of Darien, Sept. 16 {jio. ippp)- A native of South 

 America, not previously reported from the United States. It has 

 a very different aspect from its now too common congener y^. a?{S' 

 irale^ being an erect bushy plant sometimes a meter tall and wide, 



*T. & G. FL N. A. 2 ; 431. 1843. What part of Louisiana is not specified, 

 but a note in Carpenter's handwriting, accompanying the specimen in the Torrey Her- 

 barium, says: '* Sides of steep hills, near Jackson, La. Feby. loth." Jackson (or 

 at least the modem settlement of that name) is in East Feliciana Parish, considerably 

 nearer the coast and farther south than my station, and hundreds oi miles from any 

 other known.
