192 HARPER 



ment (presumably on the Chattahoochee formation). In 

 regular hammocks it grows in emanuel, dodge, coffee, 

 wilcox, and doubtless other counties, and along the es- 

 carpment it has been noted in screven, bulloch, emanuel, 

 wilcox, worth, and decatur. Fl. March- April. Out- 

 side of our territory it probably grows in every county in 

 Georgia. 

 Ranges nearly throughout the Eastern United States south of 

 latitude 43 °. 



NYSSA L., Sp. PI. 1058. 1753. 

 N. Ogeche Marsh., Arb. Am. 97. 1785. "Tupelo Gum." 

 Ogeechee Lime. 



Common nearly throughout (not yet noted in Screven, Bulloch, 

 Emanuel, Dodge, and Decatur), in streams of all sizes, and 

 rarely in ponds. Fl. April-May. Extends coastward to 

 within about 20 miles of the ocean, but in the other direction 

 it seems to stop abruptly at the Altamaha Grit escarpment, 

 particularly in Dooly and Worth Counties. (See Bull. 

 Torrey Club 32:147. 1905.) A large shrub or small tree, 

 quite different in aspect from its congeners. Fruit very acid, 

 used to some extent for preserves. 



Ranges from extreme southern South Carolina to the vicinity 

 of Apalachicola, Florida. Like Pinckneya pubens, which 

 has a very similar range, it is probably more abundant in our 

 territory than in all the rest of its range combined. 



N. uniflora Wang., Am. Holz. 83. pi. 27. f. 57. 1787. 



N. aquatica L., Sp. PI. 1058, in part. 



Only in swamps of streams rising north of our territory. 

 screven and bulloch: Ogeechee River; emanuel: 

 Little Ohoopee River; tattnall: Ohoopee River; Mont- 

 gomery: Oconee River near Mount Vernon ; Montgomery 

 and telfair: Gum Swamp Creek near McRae; telfair: 

 Ocmulgee River. Fl. April. Extends down the Altamaha 

 River to within about 20 miles of the coast. Pretty widely 

 scattered in South Georgia, in similar situations, and known 

 from a few places above the fall-line near the western border 

 of the state. (See Bull. Torrey Club 30 : 294. 1903.)
