PALM.E. 



SERENOA Hook, f., m B. &. H., Gen. PI. 3 : 926, 1228. 1883. 

 S. serrulata (Mx.) "Saw Palmetto." 



Sand-hills, dry and intermediate pine-barrens, or rarely in 

 creek swamps. Very common in the lower counties, but 

 rather rare or absent in the upper ones. It does not quite 

 reach the Altamaha Grit escarpment, and I have not seen 

 it in the counties of Screven, Emanuel, Laurens, Dodge, 

 Dooly, Worth, Mitchell, and Decatur, in our territory. 

 But in the last-named it is known at two or three places in 

 the lime-sink region. It is very abundant in the flat pine- 

 barrens toward the coast, and extends even to the dunes on 

 the outer edges of the sea islands. Its size seems to vary 

 approximately in inverse proportion to its distance from the 

 coast. Flowers in June (perhaps not every year though), 

 and fruits in September. 



South Carolina to South Florida and Louisiana, in the lower 

 half of the coastal plain.
