Dichondra Carolinensis 
This is one of the few vegetation types in which the trees out¬ 
number the herbs. Vines are fairly abundant. The proportion of 
evergreens is about 40%, not very different from that of the high 
and low hammocks. No Ericaceae or Leguminosae appear in the 
list. The most striking feature of the vegetation is the abundance 
of short-leaf pine, for there is very little of it elsewhere in this area, 
or anywhere farther south.* A good deal of it, as of the cypress, 
has been cut for lumber, but little use has yet been made of any of 
the other plants, or of the soil.

In the extreme northeastern corner of our area and beyond, on 
“Fellowship sandy loam,” are open long-leaf pine forests with nearly 
*Its distribution in Florida and elsewhere corresponds roughly with that of 
the cotton crop, and Marion is one of the southernmost counties in which any 
cotton is raised.
