a wider range in Georgia than the preceding, extending 

 inland to Chattahoochee County in the Cretaceous region, 

 up the Flint River to the Pine Mountains (see Bull. Torrey

 and Okefinokee Swamp. Its maximum dimensions are less 

 than those of Clijtonia, but it is equally important as a 

 honey plant. Not a true evergreen, but most of the leaves 

 persist well into the winter season.
