planted in the corner of a garden or in recesses in a herbaceous 

 border are very effective. They may be readily propagated by 

 division of the old plants, the new ones soon developing into 

 masses rivaling those from which they were taken. They may 

 also be readily grown from seed, which some of them produce 

 freely. It is desirable, however, that the seed be sown soon 

 after collecting, as it does not keep well. 



All of the species in cultivation are perfectly hardy in the 

 latitude of New York, requiring no protection whatever, making 

 them especially desirable for a herbaceous border, where per- 

 manency is a great desideratum.

ADDITIONS TO THE FLORA OF THE CAROLINAS— II 



By W. C. Coker 



Kalmia cuneata Michx. 



This species occurs plentifully on the edge of an open savanna 

 on the south side of Frestwood's Lake, Hartsville, S. C. It 

 appears in scattered slumps along the transition line between the 

 savanna and a typical dense "bay" formation. The soil it stands 

 in is a nearly saturated black humus, and is covered in many 

 places with Sphagnum. Associated with the Kalmia are Zenohia 

 pulverulenta, Vaccinium australe, Azalea viscosa, Ilex glabra, Ilex 

 coriacea, Aronia arbutifolia, Myrica cerifera, Myrica caroliniana, 

 Xolisma foliosiflora, Fothergilla Carolina, Pieris nitida, etc. 



It has been taken previously only from southeastern N. C. 

 The New York Botanical Garden and the Gray Herbarium have 

 it only from Bladen Co., N.C. The Biltmore Herbarium has 

 it also from Cumberland Co. (Hope Mills), and Moore Co. 

 (Aberdeen), N. C. 

 Pyxidanthera harhulata Michx. 



Forms dense and extensive mats at several places in the 

 sand hills north of Hartsville, S. C, e. g., on the Camden road 

 about four miles from town. It grows in very sandy soil associa- 

 ted with such plants as arbutus (Epigaea repens) and wire grass 

 {Panicum neuranthum). It was known heretofore only from
