GENERAL DISTRIBUTION OF PLANTS. 
Based on tree distribution, as an index, the general vegetation of 
Stone Mountain may be grouped as follows: 
I. Pure Deciduous Broad-leaved on the North Side. 
Here woody specimens were collected and identified as follows: 
Castanea dentata. Styraciflua. 
Cornus florida. Liriodendron Tulipifera. 
Diospyros Virginiana (Fig. 1) Magnolia acuminata. 
Fraxinus Americana. Nyssa sylvatica. 
Hamamelis Virginiana. Oxyodendron arboreum. 
Vitis rotundifolia. Quercus alba. 
Vaccinium arboreum. Quercus Georgiana. 
Carya glabra. Quercus prinus. 
Kalmia latifolia. Cornus stolonifera. 
Liquidamber Styraciflua. 
Associated with this group of woody species is a typical herbaceous 
flora, but here, as might be expected, in September the landscape pre- 
sents an aspect of quiet and maturity rather than one of blossom and 
vigor, and the fragrance of spring time have given place to such in- 
viting odors as the ripened fruit of the muscadine, whose drooping 
ladened boughs hang from many a tree and crown almost every rugged 
clump of granite debris. A small number of herbaceous specimens were 
taken and identified as follows: 
Clitoria mariana. Asplenium Bradleyi. 
Lespedeza frutescens. Asplenium angustifolium. 
Desmodium Dillenii. Solidago odora. 
Desmodium paniculata. Aspidium marginale. 
Silene stellata. Pteris aquilina.
