there was a habitation, and the people received me 
very civilly. I ftaid here all night, and had for 
flipper 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 fupplied with it from Europe and the 
northern dates. The next day's progrefs, in ge- 
neral, prefented fcenes fimilar to the preceding, 
though the land is lower, more level and humid, 
and the produce more varied : high open forefls of 
ftately pines, flowery plains, and extenfive green 
favannas, chequered with the incarnate Chironia 
puicherrima, and Afclepias fragrans, perfumed the 
air whilit they pleafed the eye. I met with home 
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 ; the whole plant, 
except the corolla, armed with ftiff hair. I alfb 
faw a beautiful fpecies of Lupin, having pale 
green villous Ungulate* leaves; the dowers are 
difpofed in long eredl 11 ikes ; forme plants produce 
flowers of the finefl celeftial blue, others incarnate, 
and fome milk white, and though they all three 
feem to be varieties of one fpecies, yet they afibci- 
ate in feparate communities, fometiraes approach- 
ing near each other’s border, or in fight at a dis- 
tance. Their diftridts are ficuated on dry fandv 
heights, in open pine for efts* which are naturally 
thin of undergrowth, and appear to great advan- 
tage; generally, where they are found, they occu- 
py many acres of fur face* The vegetative mould 
is compofed of fine white fand, mixed, and colour- 
ed, with diffolved and calcined vegetable fubftanees $ 
* Lupinyts breunis, foliis integerirms oblongis villofis.
