only from three extreme southern counties, Escambia, Baldwin 

 and Mobile; and Professor Sargent in his Manual of Trees, 1906, 

 restricts it to "Pine-barren swamps, ... in the immediate neigh- 

 borhood of the coast." 



Nymphaea fluviatilis Harper. What I take to be this species 

 was seen from the train, in the Cahaba River near Henry Ellen, 

 in the eastern edge of Jefferson County, Alabama. In 1908 I had 

 seen the same thing nearly as far from the coast in Middle 

 Georgia.* 



Myrica carolinensis Mill. As this was not known outside of 

 the glaciated region and coastal plain until 1906, it might be 

 worth while to mention here that small inconspicuous specimens 

 of it, about knee-high, are not rare in damp ravines on the slopes 

 of both the Blue Ridge and the Pine Mountains. 



Pogonia divaricata (L.) R. Br. Rare in boggy places in moun- 

 tain ravines in Clay County, Alabama, with Osmunda cinna- 

 momea and several less common plants. Dr. Mohr knew this 

 handsome orchid no farther inland than Tuscaloosa County, but 

 Dr. Gattinger found it in the mountains of East Tennessee. 



Pogonia ophioglossoides (L). Ker. Although this is known 

 from many scattered stations between the glaciated region and 

 the coastal plain,! it is by no means a common plant in the 

 highlands, and I had never seen it in Middle Georgia until I 

 found several specimens in bloom in the meadow near Woodbury, 

 previously mentioned. 



Smilax laurijolia L. I have already reported this from the 

 highlands of both states, but not from either of the mountain 

 ranges under consideration, so it may be worth mentioning that 

 I found it quite common in most of the wet ravines, as indicated 

 in the foregoing habitat list. 



Tillandsia usneoides L. In former years I had seen this 

 'characteristic coastal plain epiphyte along rocky banks of rivers 

 a mile or two above the fall-line near Tallassee, Ala., and Colum- 

 bus, Ga.,t but finding it among the Pine Mountains, over twenty 

 miles from the fall-line in a straight line (and probably twice as
