ALTAMAHA GRIT REGION OF GEORGIA 233 



Fl. April-May. Also in every county in the flat country, 

 and inland to Johnson, Sumter, and Early Counties in 

 the Lower Oligocene region. 



North Carolina to central and Middle Florida, strictly confined 

 to the pine-barrens. 

 S. flava L., 1. c. "Pitchers." 



Probably the most abundant and conspicuous herb in our 

 moist pine-barrens. Much more rarely in branch-swamps 

 and shallow ponds. Noted in every county in our territory 

 except Laurens and Decatur (see plate XXIII). Its inland 

 limit coincides very closely with the Altamaha Grit escarp- 

 ment, not extending beyond it more than a mile or two, 

 if at all (see Bull. Torrey Club 32 : 147. 1905). Fl. April. 

 Toward the coast it extends only to Effingham, Wayne, 

 Pierce, Ware, Lowndes, and Brooks Counties in the flat 

 country. In other states its range is not so restricted, for 

 it has been found above the fall-line in Virginia and 

 North Carolina (see Torreya 3:123-124. 1903). 



Dinwiddie County, Virginia (see Torreya 4:123. 1904), to 

 northern Florida and Alabama, mostly in the coastal 

 plain. Also in western North Carolina {Small & Heller. ) 

 S. rubra Walt., Fl. Car. 152. 1788. 



Sand-hill bogs and moist pine-barrens ; rather rare, bulloch, 



EMANUEL (5lO), TATTNALL (2147), MONTGOMERY (l8/l). Fl. 



April. Known otherwise in the state only from Richmond 

 and Sumter Counties (see Bull. Torrey Club 27 :428. 1900; 

 30 :334. 1903). 

 North Carolina to West Florida and Mississippi, mostly in the 

 coastal plain. 



S. psittacina Mx., Fl. 1 :3ii. 1803; Croom, Ann. Lye. N. Y. 

 4 : 101. 1837. 



5. calceolata Nutt., Trans. Am. Phil. Soc. 4 : 49. pi. 1. 1833. 



S. pulchella Croom, Am. Jour. Sci. 25 :75. 1833. 



Moist pine-barrens, from bulloch to colquitt, inland to wil- 

 cox, and coastward to Charlton County. Abundant but 

 inconspicuous; usually with 5. minor or 5. flava or both 

 of them. Fl. April. Never seen northwest of the Altamaha
