ALTAMAHA GRIT REGION OF GEORGIA 307 



in the pine-barrens nearer the coast, but most abundant 

 in the Eocene region (see Bull. Torrey Club 31: 15. 1904) 

 and thence northward to the mountains. 

 Long Island (?) to Missouri, northern Florida, and Texas. 



P. glabra Walt., Fl. Car. 237. 1788. Spruce Pine. "White 

 Pine." (Bottom White Pine.) 

 P. rrntis paupera Wood, Class-Book 660. 1861. 

 Hammocks and bluffs ; frequent but not abundant, screven, 



BULLOCH, EMANUEL, TATTNALL, MONTGOMERY, TELFAIR, COF- 

 FEE, wilcox, thomas. Fl. April. Reaches a diameter 

 of three feet in coffee County. Rarer toward the coast 

 and commoner in the upper third of the coastal plain, 

 but not quite reaching the fall-line. Its distribution in 

 Georgia is very similar to that of Magnolia grandiflora, 

 with which it is commonly associated. 

 South Carolina to northern Florida and southeastern Louisiana, 

 in the coastal plain.

River-swamps, almost confined to those streams which rise 

 north of our territory and have eroded their channels through 

 the superficial formations into the Tertiary strata. Occurs 

 all along the Ohoopee, Oconee, Ocmulgee, Little Ocmulgee, 

 and Ochlocknee Rivers. (The latter is a little anomalous 

 in some respects among our supposed endemic streams, 

 and if investigated it might be found to have some of its 

 sources in the lime-sink region.) Fl. spring. In Georgia 

 this species is confined to the coastal plain, and is most 

 abundant in the upper third. The characters and dis- 

 tribution of this and the following species have been more 

 fully discussed elsewhere (see Bull. Torrey Club 29:383-399. 

 1902; 32:105-115. 1905). 



Delaware to Florida, Tennessee, Indiana, Missouri, and Texas, 

 almost confined to the coastal plain. 



A form apparently intermediate between this and the next 

 grows in the Ogeechee, Little Ohoopee, Allapaha, and
