2>Z2 ECONOMIC BOTANY OF ALABAAIA 



The following seem to be confined to the pine-barren regions, 

 or nearly so. as far as Alabama is concerned, though some extend 

 northward in the coastal plain to X^orth Carolina, and the first one 

 (besides many herbs of similar distrilnition) reaches New Eng- 

 land. 



Chamaecyparis (xj 



Serenoa 



Myrica inodora 



Quercus geminata 



Quercus minima 



Chrysobalanus 



vStillingia aquatica (x) 



Cliftonia 



Ilex Cassine

Gordonia 



Hypericum myrtifolium 



Hypericum aspalathoides 



Hypericum opacum 



Kalmia hirsuta 



Pieris phillyreifolia 



Gaylussacia hirtella

Most of these are evergreen bog plants, and the most impor- 

 tant factors for them are probably sour soil and copious summer 

 rainfall. 



The following seem to have their inland limits in the south- 

 ern red hills (region 10, especially the eastern division), though 

 some are not found very far from the pine-barrens. 



Pinus Elliottii
