ALTAMAHA GRIT REGION OF GEORGIA 187 



Perhaps overlooked elsewhere in the region for lack of 

 flowers. Common in rich woods farther inland, all the way 

 to the mountains. In Georgia I have seen only the ordinary 

 pink-flowered form. 

 Widely distributed in the Eastern United States between 

 latitudes 30 and 43 °. 



A. Candida Small, Bull. Torrey Club 28 :36c 1901. 



On or near Altamaha Grit outcrops, especially on banks of 

 creeks and rivers, tattnall (1858), coffee, berrien. 

 Flowers before the middle of April. (See Bull. Torrey Club 

 32: 166. 1905.) Known otherwise only from the type- 

 locality in Lowndes County, just south of our territory, and 

 perhaps from neighboring parts of Florida.

 E. racemosa Muhl., 1. c. 



(Plates XIX (Fig. 2) and XX.) 

 Oak ridges and bases of sand-hills; rare, bulloch {962), 

 telfair (iSfj), coffee (201 1). Said to occur also in 

 screven and emanuel, probably within our territory 

 (see Plant World 6 : 60. 1903). Fl. June- July. 

 Confined to the coastal plain of Georgia and adjacent parts of 

 South Carolina. Formerly known from Burke, Richmond, 

 and Columbia (?) Counties, and Aiken Co., S. C, but it has 

 not been seen in the wild state outside of the Altamaha Grit 

 region for nearly thirty years. (See Jour. N. Y. Bot. Gard.
