ALTAMAHA GRIT REGION OF GEORGIA 235 



? D. capillaris Poir., Encyc. 6 : 299. 1804. 

 Moist pine-barrens; common but inconspicuous. Probably 

 grows in every county in the region, but only noted in 



BULLOCH, MONTGOMERY, DODGE, TELFAIR, COFFEE, WILCOX, 

 IRWIN, BERRIEN, COLQUITT, and DECATUR. Fl. June-Aug. 



Ranges nearly throughout South Georgia, wherever the 



Columbia sand occurs. 

 Our plant does not agree exactly with published descriptions 



of D. capillaris, and might just about as well be D. 



brevifolia Pursh. These two species are said to range from 



North Carolina to Florida and Louisiana in the coastal plain. 

 The fact that the whole foliage of this plant (whichever species 



it may be) is red is rarely if ever mentioned in descriptions. 



CAPPARIDACEiE. 

 ALDENELLA Greene, Pittonia 4 1212. 1900. 

 A. tenuifolia (LeConte) Greene, 1. c. 



Polanisia tenuifolia (LeConte) T. &. G., Fl. 1 : 123. 1838. 

 Sand-hills and sand-hammocks ; rather rare, tattnall (1861), 

 Montgomery. Fl. June-Aug. Also in Liberty, Mcintosh, 

 Wayne, and Pierce Counties in the flat country. 

 Reported also from Florida and southeastern Alabama. 



CRUCIFERiE. 

 WAREA Nutt., Jour. Acad. Phila. 7 :83. 1834. 

 W. cuneifolia (Muhl.) Nutt., 1. c. 84. 



Cleome cuneifolia Muhl.; Nutt. Gen. 2 '.73. 1818. 



Stanley a gracilis DC, Syst. 2 .'512. 1821. 



Sand-hills, particularly toward the hammocks at their bases; 

 sometimes with the preceding, and almost as rare. Mont- 

 gomery (iq8i), telfair, coffee. Fl. July-Sept. Also 

 in Richmond (A. Cuihbert) and Pierce Counties. Found 

 by Elliott on the fall-line sand-hills somewhere between 

 Milledgeville and Columbus. 



South Carolina (Bartram, according to DeCandolle) to South 

 Florida, in the coastal plain. 



This, the only native crucifer in our flora, has considerable 

 affinity with the preceding family, as was noticed by Nuttall
