CUPULIFERAE lis 



Grows mostly in low flatwoods, alluvial bottoms, and second- 

 bottom sloughs, where the water does not fluctuate more than ten 

 or fifteen feet with the seasons. Not usually found on the im- 

 mediate banks of streams. It is nowhere abundant, but seems to 

 be commonest in the Eutaw belt (region (iC). Outside of Ala- 

 bama and Georgia it seems to be confined to the coastal i)lain, but 

 here it is more widely distributed, as follows : 



IB. Along Limestone Creek in the southwestern part of Limestone 

 County, and in flatwoods in southern Madison and western Morgan. One 

 tree observed near Leighton, Colbert County. 



IC. Along Cotaco Creek, Morgan County. 



3. Cherokee, Calhoun and Jefferson Counties. 



5. (Grows along the Tallapoosa River in Georgia, and probably in 

 Alabama also, if it has not been drowned out by power dams. ) 



6A. Pickens and Tuscaloosa Counties, mostly in second-bottom sloughs 

 high above the rivers. 



6C. Common along the Warrior and Alabama Rivers. 



7. Common along rivers and creeks.

low. Sumter, Marengo, Wilco.x and Butler Counties. 

 11. Conecuh County. 



13. Along Conecuh River in Escambia County. 



14. Upper part of the delta. 



Quercus Durandii, Buckley. (Q. brcviloha (Torr.) Sarg., in 

 part). Pin oak. 



This comparatively rare tree has bark and wood much like the 

 white and post oaks, but leaves and acorns often resembling those 

 of the water oak. so that it is liable to be mistaken for that species 

 in the herbarium. It is usually a small or medium-sized tree, but 

 may attain a diameter of two feet. According to Dr. Mohr its 

 wood was once used in the black belt for spools and cotton-gin 

 pins, as well as for fuel.
