FLORIDA GEOLOGICAL SURVEY— THIRD ANNUAL REPORT. 
RHAMNACEAE. Buckthorn Family. 
Berchemia scandens (Hill) Trel. Rattan Vine. 
Very characteristic of calcareous swamps, low hammocks, etc. Wakulla, 
Jefferson, Duval, Putnam, Levy, Sumter and Orange Counties. Not observed 
in the southern half of the state. 
Virginia to Florida, Missouri and Texas, mostly in the coastal plain and 
Appalachian valley. 
ACERACEAE. Maple Family. 
Acer rubrum L. Red Maple. 
Common in both calcareous and non-alluvial swamps, down to about latitude 
260 (New River). Not usually on the best kind of peat. (In the adjoining 
states it seems to avoid limestone.) The variety tridens grows in the swamps 
of some of the medium-sized rivers which rise and fall a few feet but are rarely 
or never muddy, particularly the Suwannee. 
Nearly throughout temperate Eastern North America. 
AQUIFOLIACEAE. Holly Family. 
Ilex Cassine L. Swamp Holly. 
Nearly throughout the state, in swamps whose water-level varies but a few 
inches during the year. (This excludes it from alluvial swamps and salt 
marshes, but it seems to grow equally well in calcareous and non-calcareous 
swamps.) It often grows on several feet of peat, as for instance in the clumps 
of small trees in peat prairies. 
Virginia to Louisiana in the coastal plain, usually not more than fifty miles 
inland. 
Ilex myutifolia Walt. Yaupon or Yupon. 
Common in shallow bays and cypress ponds north of latitude 30°, all the 
way across the State. Rarely if ever on peat deep enough to have any commer¬ 
cial value. 
North Carolina to Louisiana, in the coastal plain. 
Ilex coriacea (Pursh) Chapm. 
In estuarine swamps near Milton, and in bays, etc., in Escambia, Walton, 
Holmes and Jefferson Counties. 
Virginia to Louisiana, mostly in the coastal plain. 
Ilex glabra (L.) Gray. Gall'berry. 
Common in low pine lands and about high-water mark on sandy shores of 
small lakes, in the northern half of the State. Also on peat in the estuarine 
swamps of Santa Rosa County, and in small peat prairies in Franklin and Lake 
Counties. 
Nova Scotia to Louisiana, mostly in the coastal plain.
