ered with an open growth of stunted trees and shrubs. Nyssa 

 biflora and Acer carolinianum were the largest growth, and 

 among them were Alnus rugosa, Magnolia glauca, Rhus copalina, 

 Rhus Vernix, Myrica pumila, Ilex glabra, Ilex lucida, Cyrilla 

 racemiflora, Lyonia nitida, Prunus serotina, Viburnum nudum, 

 Viburnum cassinoides, Rhus Toxicodendron, Rubus Andrew - 

 sianus. Scattered here and there were a few small trees of Pinus 

 palustris, Pinus serotina and Ghamaecyparis thyoides. It was 

 rather surprising to find in such a place large quantities of broom 

 sedge (Andropogon virginicus.) The smaller growth was Pluchae 

 foetida, Eupatorium maculatum, Eupatorium rotundi folium, 

 Rhexia mariana, Centella repanda, Osmunda cinnamomea, Wood- 

 wardia areolata and Lycopodium alopecuroides. 



In a small wet meadow to the east of the pond were collected 

 Polygonum hydropiperoides, Scutellaria integri folia, Olden- 

 landia Boscii, Bacopa acuminata, Viola lanceolata, Gratiola 

 pilos, Diodia virginiana, Aster cordifolius, Linum straitum, and 

 Hypericum virgatum. 



Along the wet crossing below the mill Verbena polystachya was 

 picked up; and in slightly damp soil near here were Hieracium 

 Gronovii, Kneifpa arenicola, Crotalaria rotundifolia and Helian- 

 themum majus. 



On the dam grew Wistaria frutescens, and in the damp woods 

 on the west side were a number of plants of Berchemia scandens 

 (supple jack), a vigorous high-climbing vine, and one of the 

 rarest woody plants of Hartsville. There is a good specimen of 

 it at the Snake Branch crossing, just above the paper mill.
