in places into the bottoms. The soil on this land is light, sandy loam with SRNERESITe admixture 
e under story of hardwoods’ may be dense or open and consists of Liquidambar 
styraciflua, Nyssa sylvatica, Acer rubrum, Quercus aquatica (= (Q. nigra), and occasionally Fagus 
americana lien a third layer of Persea BERN, etc. The longleaf Pinus palustris is con- 
main to higher situations and to drier and lighter soils in South Carolina. On the drier 
parts of loblolly pine lands the two trees intermingle. Underbrush while not so plentiful as on 
loblolly pine lands is often present‘). Stunted trees of Quercus falcata, Q. tinctoria and Q. ob- 
siloba occur. 
There are several ar of pine barrens botanically considered in Georgia?) differing princi- 
= in the amount of water in the soil. First are the wet pine barrens in which the ground 
usually covered > water a few inches to a foot, or so, in depth, occupied by the following 
species: 
en corniculata Lam. Stillingia aquatica Chapm. 
Traecyi Britton. Ilex glabra L. 
EIER RER Lam. Herpestis (Monniera) caroliniana Walt. 
Proserpinaca pectinata Lam. Utricularia purpurea Walt 
Sabbatia gentianoides EI. > juncea Vahl. 
Gratiola quadridentata Mx. Lobelia Nuttalliüi R. & S. 
Pontederia cordata L. Sclerolepis uniflora Walt. 
In the moist pine barrens where there is no standing water on the surface the species 
are more numerous, the following being a partial list of them: 
rseseaige alopecuroides L. Sarracenia variolaris Michx. (= S. minor Walt.). 
Tax m imbricarium Nutt?). Polygala cymosa ra 
a, (Manisuris) rugosa Nutt. | Ilex myrtifolia W 
Dichromena latifolia Baldw. Hypericum ee Lam. 
Rhynchospora axillaris Lam. (= R. cephalantha > virgatum Lam 
A. Gray). Rhexia glabella Michx. 
microcarpa Baldw. Hydrocotyle (Centella) repanda Pers. 
Tofeli en racemosa Walt. Gerardia linifolia Nutt. 
Sabbatia paniculata Michx. 
ae tinctoria Walt. (= Gyrotheca capi- campanulata 
tata Walt.). kei floridana Lam 
Habenaria nivea Nutt. Breweria aquatica Walt. 
Spiranthes (Gyrostachys) Ag Walt. Rudbeckia Mohrii Gray. 
Calopogon pulchellus . (= Limodorum Aster adnatus Nutt. 
tuberosum L.). Coreopsis nudata Nutt. 
The e barrens are characterized by a great variety of herbaceous plants with showy flowers 
displayed Pe in early autumn, when the gay colors of many Compositae are everywhere 
a feature of the landscape. _ 
In the Altamaha Grit Territory, according to Harper, as we pass down the slopes of any 
of the low ridges, we pass. gradually into pine barrens perceptibly moist. This transition strip may 
be designated as the intermediate pine barrens and here are found some species which 
are rare or wanting in both adjacent strips, viz., the dry pine barrens and the wet pine barrens. 
Here occur Pinus palustris, P, serotina, P. caribaea (= P. Elliottii, P. bahamensis), Kalmia hirsuta,
