ALTAMAHA GRIT REGION OP GEORGIA 253 



Swamps of muddy rivers. Oconee River near Mount Vernon 

 and Ocmulgee River near Lumber City. Also in a few 

 localities coastward, but more frequent in the upper third 

 of the coastal plain. 



Southeastern Virginia to central Florida, Illinois, and Texas, 

 in the coastal plain. 



H. sp. Another species (perhaps more than one), grows in 

 hammocks in coffee, wilcox, and doubtless other counties, 

 but I have never identified it. It is probably identical with 

 some species growing farther inland, very likely H. alba or 

 H. glabra. 



SAURURACEJE. 

 SAURURUS L., Sp. PI. 341. 1753. 

 S. cernuus L., 1. c. 



River-swamps, cypress ponds, etc. ; not common, screven 

 Montgomery, telfair, coffee, berrien. Fl. May. Scat- 

 tered over the state from northwest to southeast, but 

 apparently absent in most of the counties 



Widely but erratically distributed over the Eastern United 

 States outside of New England. Its general as well as its 

 local distribution is difficult to explain. 



ORCHIDACE^E. 

 EPIDENDRUM L., Sp. PI. 952. 1753. 

 Larnandra Raf., Neogen. 4. 1825. (Based on the following 

 species.)

Figured in Curt. Bot. Mag. 62 : pi. 3457. 1835. 

 Usually on Magnolia grandiflora in hammocks. Montgomery 



(1870), dodge, coffee. Also in the latter county on M . 



glauca in a non-alluvial swamp near by. Fl. June— July. 



Extends inland to Dooly and Early Counties in the Lower 



Oligocene region and coastward to Brooks, Thomas, and 



Decatur. (See Bull. Torrey Club 32 : 159. 1905.) 

 South Carolina to Florida and Mississippi, in the pine-barren
