322 FLORIDA GEOLOGICAL SURVEY—THIRD ANNUAL REPORT. 
What looks like a small form of it, but may be another species, L. lacunosum 
(Vent.) Griseb., grows in the estuaries near Milton and in a peat prairie near 
Lakeland. 
L. aquaticum is confined to the coastal plain, and L. lacunosum to the gla¬ 
ciated region and coastal plain. 
Bartonia verna (Mx.) Muhl. 
Low pine land, margins of small lakes and bays, and in the drier parts of 
peat prairies; widely distributed over the state, blooming in midwinter. 
North Carolina to Mississippi, in the coastal plain. 
Sabbatia foliosa Fernald 
Estuarine swamps near Milton. 
South Carolina to Alabama, in the coastal plain. 
Sabbatia calycina (Lam.) Heller 
In swamps, with calcareous soil or water and very little peat. Jackson and 
Duval Counties. 
North Carolina to Cuba, Arkansas and Texas. 
OLE ACE AE. Olive Family. 
Osmanthus Americanus (L.) B. & H. Wild Olive. 
In estuarine swamps near Milton. More common on bluffs and in ham 
mocks; widely distributed in the northern half of the state. 
North Carolina to central Florida and Louisiana, almost confined to the 
coastal plain. 
Friaxinus Caroliniana Mill. Ash. 
What I take to be this species (though I may have confused one or t>vo 
others with it) grows in swamps of various kinds, in Escambia, Santa Rosa, 
Wakulla, Duval, Sumter and several other counties, but rarely if ever on good 
peat. In the estuaries of the Escambia and Yellow Rivers a shrubby form of it 
only a few feet tall, but bearing fruit, is common. 
Virginia to Texas, mostly in the coastal plain. 
Fraxinus profunda Bush. Ash. 
In calcareous and estuarine swamps. Franklin, Jefferson, Duval, Putnam, 
Levy, Hernando, Sumter, Lake and Osceola Counties. (Our specimens differ 
from current descriptions in having the leaves smooth on both sides, but they 
have been identified as F. profunda by Prof. C. S. Sargent). 
Range not well known. Said to occur also in Pennsylvania, Missouri and 
Georgia. 
THEOPHRASTACEAE. Jacquinia Family. 
Rapanea Guyanensis A'uibl. (Myrsine Rapanea R. & S.) 
In a slough on the nprth side of Paradise Key in the Everglades, Dade Co. 
Also in a non-alluvial swamp a few miles west of West Palm Beach. More 
common in the hammocks of the Miami limestone region. 
Florida to Paraguay.
