Karl M. Wiegand and Arthur J. Eames 



it seemed desirable to add information as to the occurrence of each species 

 on the Coastal Plain. This region is one of the most distinct, and also 

 one of the most interesting, of the geographical regions of eastern North 

 America, and is characterized not only to some extent by its climate, 

 but more particularly by peculiarities of soil. The authors found it neces- 

 sary, however, to compile the information concerning occurrence of plants 

 on the Coastal Plain from fragmentary records in catalogs and from 

 personal notes, and thus there is opportunity for error. 



No new names are proposed in this work. All new names required 

 have already been published in journals. 



In the work of preparing this flora, kindly aid has been extended by 

 many persons. To all of these, gratitude is expressed. Particularly are 

 to be mentioned Mrs. Mabel White Allen and Mr. Stewart Burnham, who 

 tested the keys and otherwise aided in editorial work on the manuscript. 

 Much credit is due to the Editorial Office of the College for the manner 

 in which the work is issued.
