The specimens e.\Mniined wore ail from Florida, collected by Canhy, Chap- 

 man, Curtiss, and J. I). Smith. Tiie original station given by Michaux is in 

 Georgia, in which lie is confirmed by Elliott and Nnttall, as well as by subse- 

 (juent collections.

From Nantucket, Mass., through the pine-barrens of New Jersey to Vir- 

 ginia, E. Texas, and S. Illinois. 



The narrow-leaved forms south of this range should be referred to the fol- 

 lowing species, with which A. Crux-Andre;ehas unfortunately been confounded. 

 The western forms all seem to be taller and more robust than those of the At- 

 lantic States. In reference to the confusion of the synonymy of A. Crux-An- 

 drete and A. hypericoides consult Torr. & Gray, Fl. i. 671, where the best course 

 for settling the difficulty is suggested. The specimens examined were from 

 Nantucket {Mrs. Owen), New Jersey (Gray, Parker), Pennsylvania {Porta), Vir- 

 ginia {Curlm, Dana), S. Illinois {Vusey), W. Tennessee {Fendler), E. Arkansas 

 {Harvey, 52), E. Texas {Hall, 36 in part).

 branched above: leaves linear to linear-oblong, 3 to 10 lines
