ALTAMAHA GRIT REGION OF GEORGIA 259 



LOPHIOLA Ker, Curt. Bot. Mag. 40: pi. i$g6. 1813. 

 (The affinity of this genus with the preceding is too obvious 

 to allow them to be placed in different families merely on 

 account of a difference in the number of stamens, as has 

 been done by Engler & Prantl and subsequent authors.) 



L. aurea Ker, 1. c. (See Barnhart, Torreya 4 : 132, 135. 1905.) 

 Moist pine-barrens. Montgomery (seen from train near 

 Erick, July 4, 1901, July 3, 1903), coffee {1432), wilcox 

 (common in southeastern corner), irwin (1427). Fl. June- 

 July. Also in Ware County, a little southeast of our limits. 

 New Jersey to West Florida and Mississippi, in the pine-barrens. 



ALETRIS L., Sp. PI. 319. 1753. 

 A. obovata Nash; Small, Fl. 286. 1903; Torreya 4 : 102. 1903. 

 Intermediate pine-barrens; not rare, ware (probably extra- 



limital), coffee (2201), wilcox, irwin, berrien. Fl. May. 

 Known otherwise only from the type-locality in northeastern 



Florida. (See Bull. Torrey Club 32 '.463. 1905.) 

 Before this species was described I noted what I took to be 



A. farinosa in many similar places in the region, but it was 



probably all A. obovata. What seems to be genuine A. 



farinosa grows in the Lower Oligocene region and farther 



inland, however. 



A. lutea Small, Bull. N. Y. Bot. Gard. 1 1278. 1899. 



Intermediate or slightly moist pine-barrens. Quite common 



in coffee and berrien (2ipj), and in some of the counties 



nearer the coast. (See Bull. Torrey Club 32: 154. 1905.) Fl. 



May. 

 South to Florida and west to Louisiana (?), in the pine-barrens. 

 What is doubtless a hybrid between this and the preceding was 



seen growing with them in coffee County, May 11, 1904. 



A. aurea Walt., Fl. Car. 121, 1788. 



Moist pine-barrens, tattnall, Montgomery, dodge, tel- 



FAIR, COFFEE, WILCOX, IRWIN, DOOLY, COLQUITT, THOMAS. 



Fl. June- July. Inland to the southeastern part of Sumter 

 County, and coastward to the vicinity of Waycross. 

 Virginia to Florida and Texas, in the pine-barrens.
