NORTH AMERICA.

there was a habitation, and the people received me 
very civilly. I ftaid here all night, and had for 
fupper plenty of milk, butter, and very good cheefe 
of their own make, which is a novelty in the mari- 
time parts of Carolina and Georgia ; the inhabitants 
being chiefly Supplied with it from Europe and the 
northern ftates. The next day’s progrefs, in ge- 
neral, prefented feenes fimilar to the preceding, 
though the land is lower, more level and humid, 
and the produce more varied : high open forefts of 
ilately pines, flowery plains, and extenfive green 
favannas, chequered with the incarnate Chironia 
pulcherrima, and Afclepias' fragrans, perfumed the 
air whilft they pleafed the eye. I met with feme 
troublefome cane fwamps, faw herds of horned 
cattle, horfes and deer, and took notice of a pro- 
cumbent fpecies of Hibifcus, the leaves palmated, 
the flowers large and expanded, pale yellow and 
white, having a deep crimfon eye 3 the whole plant, 
except the corolla, armed with ftiff hair. 1 alfo 
faw a beautiful fpecies of Lupin, having pale 
green villous Ungulate * leaves ; the flowers are 
difpofed in long eredb fpikes ; fome plants produce 
flowers of the fineft celeftial blue, others incarnate, 
and fome milk white, and though they all three 
feem to be varieties of one fpecies, yet they aftbei- 
ate in feparate communities, fometimes approach- 
ing near each other’s border, or in fight at a dis- 
tance. Their diftrifts are fituated on dry fandy 
heights, in open pine forefts, which are naturally 
thin of undergrowth, and appear to great advan- 
tage ; generally, where they are found, they occu- 
py many acres of furface. The vegetative mould 
is compofed of fine white land, mixed, and colour- 
ed, with diflfolved and calcined vegetable fubftances ;
