folium (July 8),f Habenaria blephariglottis and Habenaria 

 cilaris (August 20th). In July Rhexia mariana, R. lanceolata, 

 R. ciliosa, and R. glabella make a very bright effect with their 

 handsome flowers, while in May the white flowered Zygadenus 

 angustifolius and Chamaelirium lutewn were conspicuous in the 

 same place. 



In the main body of the savanna where the soil was moist but 

 not boggy grew Rynchospora glomerata, Juncus aristulatus, J. 

 trigonocarpus, Lachnocaulon anceps (small hat pin), Buchnera 

 clongata, Marshallia obovata, Bartonia lanceolata, Tofieldia 

 glabra (blooming about Sept. 1st), Xyris arenicola, Aletris far- 

 inosa [a yellow Aletris, supposed to be Aletris aurea, was col- 

 lected but lost], Spiranthes praecox, Poly gala lutea, Linum 

 medium, Eupatorium rotundi folium, Eupatorium verbenae fo- 

 lium, Ascyrum starts, and Aster squarrosus (not seen in bloom). 

 Towards the outer edge of the savanna where the soil was dryer 

 grew Seriococarpus aster vides (said by Small to grow in rocky 

 woods), Lespedeza repens, Indigofera caroliniana, Vaccinium 

 tenellum, Gaylussaeia dumosa, and Lyonia mariana. Farther up 

 still, in the flat sandy pasture, Stipulicida setacea was collected. 



The Deeper Swamps. 



We have at Hartsville no swamps of the type found by the 

 larger muddy rivers that are subject to frequent floods, as the 

 Pee Dee and Santee, and many plants that affect such swamps are 

 absent at Hartsville. Such, for example, are overcup oak (Quer- 

 cus lyrata), elm (Ulmus alata and TJlmus americana), water 

 hickory (Gary a aquatica), tupelo gum (Nyssa aquatica), swamp 

 chestnut oak (Quercus Michauxii), planer tree (Planera 

 aquatica), and deciduous holly {Ilex decidua). 



Our swamps and bays grade insensibly into each other, and 

 the edges of all our swamps are bays. The typical bay would 

 have a scattering cover of large trees with a dense tangle of 

 undergrowth of shrubs and vines, largely evergreen. The typical 

 swamp has a heavy cover of large trees (among which is always 

 cypress) and a more or less open floor beneath. However, there 



tLimodorum tuberosum also will be found here, no doubt, but I did not 

 happen to see it. It is rather plentiful in such situations in our region. A 

 white flowered form of the species was found on the edge of another bay 

 not far from this spot and we have seen it since in several places.
