yo PENNELL : 



gerardi is an abundant plant of the New Jersey salt 

 marshes, but little known inland. 



5 Smilax pulverulenta Miclix. 



[S. lierbacea pulverulenta (Michx.) Gra}\] 



Commoner with us than 5". hei'bacea L,. Distin- 

 guished by its usually longer, more pointed, dark green 

 leaves, not pale beneath, but somewhat puberulent on 

 the veins beneath. ►S. pulverulenta is peculiarly a plant 

 of dry to damp woodlands, while 5. hcrbacea is a plant 

 of wet spring heads, woodland swamps, etc. 



6 Sisyrinchium mucronatum Michx. 



A plant answering the description of this species is 

 to be met with not infrequently on dry, sandy soil. 

 Secane, Llewellyn, Wawa, etc. It is a small, denselj^ 

 tufted plant, narrow leaved, with lax inflorescence, 

 and the spathe quite generally purple. Not so common 

 as S. granmioides Bicknell [.S*. gramineum Curtis], 

 which, with the likely exception of .S". atigiistifoliinji 

 Mill., is our only other species of the genus. 



7 Celtis crassifolia Lam. [C. occideutalis crassifolia (Lam.) Gra^'.] 



Judging by its scabrous leaves, our common tree is 

 this species. A tree I take to be C. occidentalis L,., 

 with narrow, darker, smooth leaves, I know from along 

 the bank of lower Chester Creek. 



8 Linum medium (Planch.) Rritton. 



An erect leaved plant, rather frequent on dry soil. 

 Wawa, Williamson, Village Green, Secane. 



9 Acer carolinianum Walt. [A. ruhrnm tridcns Wood. J 



A tree with smaller, thicker, less toothed leaves than 

 A. rubrum L. The common form of Red Maple in the 

 pine barrens of southern New Jersey. Occasionally 

 found with us. Specimens have been seen from Tin- 

 icuni, and I know the tree inland, on the West I'ranch 

 of Chester Creek, below Llewellvn.
