The herbaria consulted have been the Gray Her- 

 barium, and those of the New York Botanical Garden, 

 the University of Nebraska, Clemson College, and the 

 Charleston Museum. Citations of specimens in the 

 latter are marked (H), and refer chiefly to Ravenel's 

 herbarium from the vicinity of the Santee Canal, upon 

 which his Catalogue is based, and to specimens of my 

 own collecting within the last four years. A few speci- 

 mens are from Francis Peyre Porcher. 



Further records are from the survey, based on my 

 personal observations. 



The region treated is restricted to that portion of 

 the coastal plain of South Carolina which lies north of 

 Charleston. Systematic collecting has been done at 

 only a few localities, principally in the vicinity of Charles- 

 ton and north to the Santee River, in what are now 

 Charleston and Berkeley Counties. This is the classic 

 ground worked by Bachman, Ravenel, and Porcher; 

 Bachman about Charleston, and Ravenel and Porcher 

 in the parishes of St. John's Berkeley and St. Stephen's, 

 on the north and south sides respectively of the Santee 

 canal Since their day but little botanical work had 

 been done in this region until the Charleston Museum 

 a few years ago started its plant survey of the state. 

 My own records for localities outside of Charleston and 

 Berkeley Counties have been made during two short 

 trips one to Sumter and Stateburg, June 22-24, 1912;
