PLANTS OF SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY. 613 



Common in woodlands of the Northern and Middle districts, 

 occasional in the Cape May peninsula, and very rare in the Pine 

 Barrens. 



While frequent in the woods of West Jersey, this Azalea is 

 by no means typical of the coastal plain, the following species 

 being the characteristic species of the region. 



A specimen from Mickleton represents the form known as A. 

 nudiflora glandifcra Porter (Bull. Torrey Bot. Club XXVII, 

 508, 1900). 



Fl. — Early May to late May, appearing before or with the 

 leaves. Fi'. — Early July to late July. 



Middle District. — New Egypt, Bordentown, Birmingham, Medford (S), 

 Camden (P), Westville, Gloucester, Woodbury, Mickleton, Swedesboro, 

 Quinton. 



Pine Barrens. — Hammonton, Speedwell. 



Cape May.— Cold Spring (OHB). 



Azalea viscosa L. White Azalea. 



PI. LVIIL, Fig. 2. 



Azalea viscosa Linnaeus, Sp. PI. 151. 1753 [Virginia]. — Barton, Fl. Phila. 



113. 1818. — Knieskern 20. 

 Rhododendron viscosuni Britton 162. 

 Azalea viscosa nitida Keller and Brown 246. 



Common in swamps throughout the coastal plain and at several 

 stations in Sussex, Warren and Morris Counties in the moun- 

 tains. Very abundant in the Pine Barrens, but rather rare on 

 the coast islands and lower Cape May peninsula. 



One of our most attractive Pine Barren shrubs. Its white 

 flower clusters fill the swamps with a delicate heliotrope-like 

 fragrance, following close upon the Magnolia and lasting until 

 the white spikes of the Clethra are ready to take their place. The 

 three keep the swamps redolent with perfume nearly the whole 

 summer through. 



Fl. — Early June to early July, sporadically somewhat later, 

 appearing after the leaves. Fr. — Early September to early 

 October apparently. 



Middle District. — Farmingdale, Pensauken (S), Brown's Mills, Kaighns Pt., 

 Haddonfield (KB), Medford, Westville, Washington Park, Mickleton, 

 Swedesboro, Yorktown, Elmer (P), Union Grove (S), Dividing Creek.
