NOTES FROM A COLLECTOR'S FIELD-BOOK 



A few notes from a collector's field-book may prove of interest 

 to other collectors and will, perhaps, throw some light on the 

 distribution and habitats of some of the species mentioned. 



Leitneria floridana Chapm. Flora S. U. S. ed. i, 428, i860. 



While exploring a swamp along the Altamaha river, some 

 twenty miles above its mouth, in July, 1901, I found a new 

 station for this rare shrub. It was growing in black alluvial 

 soil on the margin of the swamp and bordering a cultivated 

 field — quite a different habitat from that of the original speci- 

 mens which Dr. Chapman gathered in "salt or brackish marshes." 

 At this station the plants are quite abundant, growing to a height 

 of two or three meters, their luxuriance evidently indicating a 

 thriving condition. 



Quercus georgiana M. A. Curtis. Am. Journ. Sci. ser. 2, 7: 

 406, 1849. 



Three stations, other than those already published, have been 

 noted by the writer, all in Georgia : at Winder, Jackson county, 

 on a granite outcrop, where were also found Gymnolomia porteri 

 A. Gray, 75 Solidago yadki?iensis (Porter) Small, 76 Kneiffia linifolia 

 (Nutt. ) Spach, 77 and other plants which are associated with it at 

 the original or Stone Mountain station; at Rockmart, Polk county, 

 on a rough hill of broken slate, and at Warm Springs, Meriwether 

 county, where it becomes a tree i.5-2 dm in diameter and i2-i6 m 

 high. These stations extend the range of the species at least 

 seventy-five miles westward and about one hundred miles to the 

 south. 



Ulmus serotina Sargent. Bot. Gaz. 27 : 92, 1899. 



I note one station in Alabama for this rare elm which Dr. Mohr 

 in his "Plant Life of Alabama" does not mention and which has
