More extreme cases of the same tendency are Pinus palustris, 

 which ascends to nearly 2,000 feet on the Blue Ridge, Hicorla 

 aqiiatico and Quercus lyrata, in Morgan County, Pcrsca pubcsccns, 

 which grows in wet ravines on the slopes of the Blue Ridge, 

 Berchcuiia and Aiiipclopsis arborea, in the Tennessee Valley, 

 Nyssa biflora, in a few ])laces in the plateau region, A^yssa uni- 

 flora, common in some parts of the Tennessee A^alley, Clcthra 

 alnifolia, along streams on the Blue Ridge and on dry hills in 

 northeastern Chilton County (and ranging northward to New 

 England), Styrax graiidifolia, in Cullman County, and AdcUa acu- 

 minata, on the Tennessee River in ^Morgan County. There are 

 also a few species which in the states of the Atlantic slope are con- 

 fined to the coastal plain, or nearly so, hut in Alabama are known 

 from so many upland stations as to be hardly worth special men- 

 tion here, such as Myrica Carolincnsis, Quercus MicJiauxli, Mag- 

 nolia glaiica, Ascyrmn stans, and Trachclospermuin. 



The following extend up about to the foot of the Blue Ridge 

 or other non-calcareous mountains, but not higher, perhaps in most 

 cases merely on account of the poor or rocky soil or the absence 

 of muddy streams.

Juglans nigra (x) 



Hicoria ovata (x)
