Clinopodium Georgianum, Harper.* (C. Carolinianniii of Hel- 

 ler, not of ]\Iiller.) 



A low shrub with pretty pink flowers in September and Oc- 

 tober. It could probably be cultivated for ornament, if desired. 

 I have heard it called "rosemary" in Choctaw County, and it does 

 belong to the same family as the true rosemary. 



Grows in dry woods that are not often burned. Ranges from 

 the mountains nearly to the coast, but rather rare. 



4 Calhoun, Cleburne and Clay Counties. 



5. Elmore and Tallapoosa Counties. Lee County (E. A. Smith). 



lOE. Barbour and Coffee Counties. 



11. Choctaw and Monroe Counties. 



13. Clarke, Mobile and Escambia Counties. 



Clinopodium coccineum fNutt.) Kuntze. (Gcrardea flammea, 

 Bartram?f) 



A slender sparingly branched shrub two or three feet tall, with 

 small evergreen leaves, and horizontal tubular bright red flowers, 

 blooming all summer and perhaps longer. V^ery showy, but little 

 known. It has a pleasant odor which might possibly be utilized in 

 perfumery. 



Grows in the poorest sandy or rocky soils, unfit for cultiva- 

 tion, where the vegetation is too sparse to carry fire. 



13. Near Rockville, Clarke County. "Stony gravelly heights" in what 

 is now the southern part of Monroe County or the northern part of Bald- 

 win (Bartram, August, 1777?). Sandstone rocks in pine woods about five 

 miles west of Bay Minette. Spring Hill (Mohr). 



15. Bay shores and old dunes, Baldwin County. 



CONRADINA, Gray. (Apparently no common name). 



Conradina canescens (T. & G.) Grav. fCalauiiiitha cmicscens, 

 T. &G.) 



A low shrub with small narrow grayish evergreen leaves, and 

 pale bluish flowers in fall. Economic properties unknown. 



Grows on old dunes and in other very poor dry soils, not far 

 from the coast. 



*For the reasons for this change of name see Bull. Torrev Bot. Club 

 33 :243-245. 1906. 



tBartram's Gcrardea flammea has been identified by Mohr (Plant Life, 

 p. 15) and Pennell (Bull. Torrey Bot. Club 40:124, 405.' 1913) with Macran- 

 thera fuchsioides, but that is a tall herb which grows in swamps, and would 

 hardly be in bloom in August.
