BOTANICAL GEOGRAPHY . 
many peculiar plants grow only there. In the 
Alleghanies they partake of the Canadian flo- 
ra, and in the White mountains of the Boreal 
flora. 
4. The Prairie Regions of the West, with 
few trees, but a profusion of fine plants, Dode~ 
catheons, Tradescantias, Helichroas, Gentians, 
Radiate flowers, &c., some peculiar shrubs 
and hardly any Acotyle plant. There the flo- 
ral season begins in March or sooner as you go 
South. 
5. The Limestone Region of Florida, with a 
profusion of fine plants, Ludwigias, Rhexias, 
&c. and many peculiar shrubs. 
6. The Limestone Region of the Ohio, form- 
ing a bassin in Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky ; 
it has a very scanty flora, few shrubs in the 
woods, no Kalmiasnor Vacciniums,but among 
trees many Asiminas and Pavias, with abund- 
ance of social grasses or congregated plants. 
7. The Apalachian and Wasioto Region, or 
of the hills and mountains from Kentucky to 
Georgia : this has a distinct flora from the Al- 
leghanies and Florida shores, many Rhodo- 
dendrons, Azaleas, Magnolias, and a crowd of 
fine plants; many yet new in the Unaka or Iron 
mountains, the northern nucleus of it, as well 
as in the peninsula of Florida, Alabama, &c. 
Besides these great localities I will add se- 
veral smaller localities of great botanical inte- 
rest by the numerous new plants which they 
have afforded me. Every botanist knows some 
similar place ; but those which I may boast to 
have discovered or first well explored deserve 
to be commemorated. They are 
1. The neighborhood of Quaker Bridge and Cedar Bridge in the centre 
of the Pinelands ofNew Jersey.— 2. The neighborhood of Mullica Hill in 
New Jersey.— 3. The sea Islands ofNew Jersey. — 4. The source of the river
