VEGETATION OF SOUTH FLORIDA 
over the scrub oaks. Breweria grandiflora A. Gray is a beautiful plant noted 
by Nash, with large, bright-blue flowers whose stems, sometimes 2 to 3 meters 
long, cover the ground in all directions. Grasses are absent and only one 
sedge is found, viz., Rhynchospora dodecandra Baldw., which is quite com- 
mon. Fires are infrequent, but if they do occur, they are very destructive to 
the scrub vegetation more than in the pine forest of slash-pines. 
Data as to the general distribution of Ceratiola in the southern states were 
obtained from the sheets of the plant in the Herbarium of the New York 
Botanical Garden and from papers by Dr. Roland M. Harper. From south
