growing in apparently perfectly natural places, whose indigeneity 

 is doubtful, and this is one of them. 



* 



Magnolia acuminata L. 



Collected in rich woods at the extreme coastward edge of the 

 Cretaceous region, about two miles northwest of Lumpkin, May 

 25 {no. 222 f). I saw only one tree, but was informed by a native 

 that there Is a good deal of it in the vicinity, and that its wood is 

 a favorite material for hoe-handles. 



Saxifraga.virginiensis Michx. 



On sandstone rocks on a bluff along McBean Creek in the 

 southeastern corner of Richmond County, March 26, in flower 

 {110, 2o6i\ This station is in the Eocene region, about twelve 

 miles below the fall-line, and seems to be the only one known for 

 this species in the coastal plain. 



Dirca palustris L. 



On the sandy bank of the Oconee River opposite Dublin, 



Laurens County April 20 {iio. 2rj6). This locality was pretty 



well exposed to the sun, and is rather a remarkable one for a 



species which in New England prefers the coolest and shadiest 



places. 



Aesculus parviflora Walt. 



In rich shady w^oods at two or three places between Lumpkin 

 and Omaha, in Stewart County, in the Cretaceous region, May 24 

 and 25, with flower-buds very immature (/lo. 222 j). I do not 

 know of any other station in Georgia for it. The habitat and 

 time of flowering given for this species by Chapman and Small 

 seem to need some revision. 



PoLYCODiuM REVOLUTUM Greene, Pittonia3: 325. 1898 



On the sand-hills of the Allapaha River in the northeastern 

 part of Berrien County, May 5 (y/<9. 2igi), A shrub about 6 feet 

 tall, copiously branched. Previously known only from the type- 

 locality In Lake County, Florida. This species is not mentioned 



*I do not find this word in the dictionaries, but it appears in ih^ Journal oj Bot- 

 any for March, 1905 (page 90), if not elsewhere, and there seems to be no other word 

 to express the same idea.
