of branches on Mr. Golsan's place. Known to Dr. Mohr only 

 from the "coast pine belt," but it grows also on Lookout Moun- 

 tain, with several other coastal plain plants. 



Uvularia sessilifolia L. Shady edge of branch-swamp on 

 Golsan's place. Ranges chiefly northward. 



Smilax Walleri Pursh. In Bridge Creek Swamp. Known to 

 Dr. Mohr only from Clarke County and southward. 



Persea pubescens (Pursh) Sarg. In Bear Swamp. Known to 

 Dr. Mohr only from the "lower pine belt" and "coast plain;" 

 but I had found it some years ago among the mountains of 

 Clay County.* 



Calycanthus sp. Common on moderately fertile uplands on 

 Mr. Golsan's place, and in bloom at the time of my visit. Dr. 

 Mohr lists two species, one from the highlands and one from 

 near the coast, but I have never learned to distinguish them. 

 I had no record of any member of this genus from the central 

 pine belt before, though. 



Ilex coriacea (Pursh) Chapman. The most abundant shrub 

 in the part of Bear Swamp that I visited. This is near its inland 

 limit. 



Stezvartia Malacodendron L. A single specimen, in bloom, in 

 rich woods near Bridge Creek. This handsome -shrub seems to 

 be much rarer than one might suppose from the books. Dr. 

 Mohr found it in Cullman County (locality and abundance not 

 specified), and at one place in Mobile County (in 1879 only), 

 and cited a specimen collected by Dr. E. A. Smith in Tuscaloosa 

 County. Dr. Smith's plant was found about five miles east of 

 Tuscaloosa, in the 70's, but he has never been able to locate it 

 again, although a special search for it was made in 1923. I 

 found it near Greenville, in Butler County, in June, 1906. 



Azalea. At least two species or varieties, apparently near A. 

 viscosa, were in bloom on Mr. Golsan's farm at the middle of 

 May, but the splitters have been at work on this genus lately, 

 and I could not identify them without taking specimens along 

 for study, which I was hardly prepared to do. There are also 

 a few Vacciniums there that might be worth investigating. 



Pieris nitida (Bartr.) B. & H. In Bear Swamp and one or two 

 other non-alluvial swamps in the neighborhood. Known to 

 Dr. Mohr only from the "lower pine region" and "coast plain."
