COMPARISON OF BEAUFORT FLORA WITH THAT OF OTHER LITTORAL REGIONS 



Of the species listed by Mohr for Alabama, only tbose are counted 

 here wliicb are stated to occur in the littoral belt. The great majority 

 of Beaufort species occur in the coastal plain region of Alabama, while 

 only 41 per cent are characteristic of the littoral belt. The table serves 

 to show how closely the floras of littoral North and South Carolina ap- 

 proximate, and also how much more nearly similar the floras of Alabama 

 and Beaufort are than those of the Florida Keys and Beaufort. Of the 

 regions compared, the Floridai Keys are alone outside the Austro-riparian 

 area.
