272 ECONOMIC BOTANY OF ALABAAIA 



Hypericum fasciculatum, Lam. 



A shrub of rather striking appearance, two to five feet tall, 

 much branched above the middle, with spongy reddish bark toward 

 the base, numerous needle-like evergreen leaves, and a profusion 

 of yellow flowers all summer. 



Grows in or around pine-barren ponds and swamps, often 

 associated with the pond cypress, and having a somewhat similar 

 distribution. 



lOE. Extreme southern portions of Coffee and Henry Counties. 



12. Washington, Covington, Geneva and Houston Counties ; common. 



13. Common nearly throughout. 



A small sprig of a plant which could not be distinguished from this 

 was sent in by Dr. S. J. Lloyd from dry rocky hills near Walnut Creek 

 in Chilton County (region 5) in the summer of 1921. On Aug. 16, 1927, 

 Dr. Lloyd and the writer searched for it again, but without success. 



Hypericum galioides, Lam. 



An evergreen shrub, several feet tall. 



The identity of this species is somewhat in doubt, but speci- 

 mens which seem to belong to it grow in springy places and river 

 shoals in the central part of the state. 



2B. Formerly on Squaw Shoals in the Warrior River, at the western 

 corner of Jefferson County, but drowned out by a 63-foot dam in 1915. (It 

 may have also been on some of the other shoals between there and Tusca- 

 loosa, but those were obliterated in the same manner still earlier.)* 



3. Abundant in a springy swamp at Tannehill, Tuscaloosa County, 

 some of the specimens ten feet tall. Also on shoals in Cahaba River a few 

 miles above Centerville. 



Hypericum galioides, var. pallidum, Mohr. 



Differs from the preceding in having the leaves a little larger 

 and paler. Grows on river and creek banks in the lower part of 

 the coastal plain.
