Fern Fiora or ALABAMA 67 
I have spent ten years in the State, collecting in the 
following Counties: Jackson, DeKalb, Marshall, Madi- 
son, Morgan, Etowah, Blount, Jefferson, Walker, Win- 
ston, Culman, Colbert, and Lauderdale, in the mountain 
district of the north part of the State; Baldwin, Clark, 
and Mobile, of the southwest; and Perry and Hale 
counties of the central district of the State. In some 
of these counties I have collected sparingly while in 
others I have done some extensive collecting. Jackson 
and DeKalb counties within whose borders are some 
of the highest and roughest mountains of the State, 
and which extend farthest north, and Mobile county, 
where is found the lowest swampy ground and which 
extends farthest south, is where I have done most of 
my collecting.
