there are a number of young plants, the offspring, as he supposes, of 
this tree. 
In going south from Augusta to Florida, the traveller first meets 
with it on the Ogeechee River; again at the Oconee, and again on 
the Oakmulgee, at Hartford. In Middle Florida it is the predomi- 
nant growth of the hummocks. 
4. Chamerops palmetto. (Palmetto tree. Cabbage tree.) 
Michaux appears to have carried the limit of this palm a little too 
far north. It grows on the coast of North Carolina some ten or 
twenty miles north of Cape Fear inlet, but I have never met with it 
in the neighborhood of Cape Lookout or Topsail Inlet. 
5. Sabal Adansont. 
This palm grows as far north as Neuse River, where it attains a 
height of four or five feet. 
6. Dionea muscipula. (Venus’s Fly-trap.) 
Later botanists appear to have overlooked the fact mentioned by 
Bartram (Travels, p. 470,) that he found this plant in the Savannas 
south of the Cape Fear River. Mr. Nuttall, (Genera, 1. p. 278,) 
supposes it to be confined to the north side of that river. It is prob- 
able that it will be found to extend from the Albemarle Sound to the 
Pedee River, at which last place it was observed by Gen. C. C. 
Pinckney. See Elliott’s Botany. 
7. Olea americana. 
Appears to have its northern limit near Wilmington, N. C. where 
it was observed by Bartram. I have not seen it on Neuse River. 
8. Schenus effusus. (Saw-grass.) 
Grows as far north as Neuse River. Grows in Florida. 
9. Cerotiola ericoides. (Sand hill Rosemary.) 
In going south, I first met with this elegant shrub on the sand hills 
5 miles south of Columbia, S. C. and again on the sand hills at Brier 
Creek, Georgia.. Also on gravelly hills near Augusta, at a place 
called the chalk hills, where however there is no chalk, but an abun- 
dance of porcelain clay, the decomposed feldspar of disintegrated 
granite. ‘This interesting Iécality was shown me by my friend, Dr. 
Wray of Augusta. 
10. Silene Baldwynii, Nutt. ? 
Grows at Aspalaga, Florida. Petals large, fimbriated, rose col- 
ored. 
11. Pedicularis canadensis. (P. * asplenifolia, nobis.) 
Grows in Florida. Found in bloom on the 11th of March.
