A maritime species of austral origin and distribution, ranging 

 from Darien to the Bermudas, and known on our coast from 

 Connecticut to western Florida. It is a halophilous campestrian 

 species found only in salt marshes or along the shores of brackish ' 

 inlets, often plentiful locally. This species, with its companions 

 Paroxya atlantica and floridiana and Orckelimum herbaceum, are 

 characteristic of the Juncus fringes of the tidal inlets and pools of 

 the southern coast, equally quick to seek safety in flight, or if hard 

 pressed to drop downward into the protecting shelter at the bases of 

 the tall, sharp-pointed culms. (See PI. 4, Fig. 2.) 



Orphulella speciosa Scudd. 



Virginia : Wytheville, Sept. 4.
