rock outcrops; common. Fl. April. Pretty widely dis-

 of the mountains in the northern part of the state (see Small, 

 Bull. Torrey Club 21 : 18-19. 1894).

C. ligustrina (L.) Britton, Mem. Torrey Club 4 : 134. 1894. 

 colquitt: Swamp of Ochlocknee Creek near Moultrie (1673). 



More common farther inland, for instance in Middle Georgia, 



where it flowers in May and June. 

 Widely distributed in the Eastern United States. 

 What appears to be a dwarf form of this, a knee-high shrub,' 



grows in wet pine-barrens in bulloch {888), tattnall, 



coffee, irwin, and Camden Counties. 



C. ferruginea (Walt.) Heller, Cat. 6. 1898. 



The typical form (a small tree or large shrub, sometimes 

 twenty feet tall) grows in hammocks and on sand-hill 

 bluffs in coffee {204^) and berrien Counties, flowering in 

 May. The var. fruticosa, scarcely differing except in size, 

 is common in intermediate flat pine-barrens in appling, 



TELFAIR, COFFEE (682), IRWIN, BERRIEN, and COLQUITT, and 



still more so in the flat country toward the coast. There 

 seem to be all gradations between the two extremes. 

 South Carolina to central Florida, in the lower half of the 

 coastal plain.
