Occasionally a part of the Everglades extends into the pineland as a 

 long, narrow, finger-like extension, where the level is sufficiently beneath 

 the pineland to collect the drainage water of the surrounding pine forest. 

 Such a glade was visited 3 kilometers west of Miami on December 27, 1910, 

 and the following species were collected in the area controlled by saw- 

 grass, Cladium effusum (Sw.) Torr. ( = Mariscus jamaicense (Crantz) Britt. 

 Along its edges were the ferns Acrostichum aureum L., Blechnum serrulatum 

 L. C. Rich., and the royal-fern, Osmunda regalis L. Associated with the saw- 

 grass were other grass-like plants, grasses and sedges, viz., Andropogon glomer- 

 atus (Walt.) B. S. P., Dichromena colorata (L.) A. Hitchc., Rhynchospora 

 divergens M. A. Curtis. In the wetter soil between the clumps of saw-grass 

 were gathered Sagittaria lancifolia L. and spider-lilies, Crinum americanum 

 L., while such herbs as Agalinis linifolia (Nutt.) Britton ( = Gerardia 

 linifolia Nutt.), tall Eupatorium capillifolium (Lam.) Small, and Flaveria 

 linearis Lag. were scattered about in the grass. Two vines were collected, 

 Ampelopsis arborea (L.) Rusby ( = Cissus bipinnata (Michx.) Nutt.), and the 

 climbing Mikania batatifolia DC. Where the Everglades proper touches the 

 chain of Everglade keys at Long Key, Small collected the following plants, 

 not noted before: Eleocharis cellulosa Torr., Habenella Garberi (Porter) 

 Small, and Ibidium (Gyrostachys) tortile (Sw.) House. 



The section across the Everglades made by boat along the North New 

 River Canal from Lake Okeechobee to the eastern edge of the Everglades at 

 the headwaters of New River will be presented in extracts from field note- 

 books in which are recorded observations made en route. As the entire dis-
