ALTAMAHA GRIT REGION OF GEORGIA 257 



Nearly throughout the glaciated region and coastal plain of 

 temperate Eastern North America. Also said to occur 

 throughout Tennessee (Gattinger) and Alabama (Mohr). 



SISYRINCHIUM L., Sp. PI. 954- 17 53- 

 S. Atlanticum Bicknell, Bull. Torrey Club 23: 134. pi. 264. 1896. 

 Moist pine-barrens, tattnall (2149), berrien (2197), and 



doubtless other counties. Fl. April. 

 Said to range from Maine to Florida. My material could be 

 referred with equal certainty to 5. Floridanum or 5. fus- 

 catum, two species described by Mr. Bicknell in 1899 from 

 the pine-barrens of the Gulf states. 



DIOSCOREACEjE. 

 DIOSCOREA L., Sp. PI. 1032. 1753. 

 D. villosa L., Sp. PI. 1033. J 753- 



In shaded situations, only in those exceptional places already 

 mentioned where the Lafayette and perhaps the Altamaha 

 Grit too is wanting, bulloch: Wooded bluff near Echo; 

 Wilcox : Upper Seven Bluffs; berrien: Low woods west of 

 Tifton; dooly: Lime-sink near the Rock House. Fl. April- 

 July. Commoner farther inland, all the way to the moun- 

 tains. Its local and general distribution is very similar to 

 that of Cercis Canadensis (which see), which accompanies 

 it at each of the above-mentioned stations. 

 Widely distributed in the Eastern United States north of 

 latitude 30 . 



AMARYLLIDACEiE. 

 HYMENOCALLIS Sal. Trans. Hort. Soc. 1 1338. 1812. Spider 



Lily. 

 H. sp. (See Bull. Torrey Club 32 : 463-465. /. 5. 1905.) 



A species with only two flowers, more rarely one, on a scape, 

 and narrow leaves, grows in creek-swamps in coffee and 

 Colquitt, flowering in April and May. (See Plate XXIV,. 

 Fig. 2). Although its characters are not at all obscure, and 

 good specimens have been collected (outside of our terri- 

 tory), it cannot be determined in the present rather confused 

 state of the literature relating to this genus. It was.
