THH FLORA OF THE METAMORPHIC REGION
OF ALABAMA.

BY F. S. EARLE.

The followiiin- list of the ferns and flowering plants of
the Metamorphic lve<;ion of Alabama is based on the
collections in the herbarium of the Alabama Polytechnic
Institute at Auburn. The Alabama material in this
herbarium was secured as follows : First, a few plants
collected prior to 1895 by Dr. P. H. Mell and his assist-
ants. (The bulk of this earlier material was destroyed
by fire) ; second, a few plants collected during the Fall
of 1895 by Dr. L. M. Underwood ; third, plants collected
during the Spring and Summer of 1896 by L. M. Under-
wood and F. S. Earle; fourth, plants collected during
the Fall of 1S9U, during 1897, and the Spring and Sum-
mer of 1898 by C. F. Baker and F. S. Earle ; fifth, plants
collected from the Fall of 1898 to the Summer of 1901 by
F. S. Earle and Mrs. F. S. Earle. Prior to 1897 atten-
tion had been devoted mainly to the fungi, fiowering
plants being taken only incidentally. Prof. Baker first
suggested the s^^stematic collection of the fiowering
plants, and the greater part of the species enumerated
below were taken during the period of his residence at
Auburn.

As Dr. Charles Mohr was known to be working on a
fiora of Alabama, the collections made prior to mid-
summer of 1897 were all sent to him for determination,
and he was permitted to retain a full set, including all
uni(pies, for his own herbarium. These plants are fre-
quently referred to in his recent work on The Plant Life
of Alabama that was published first by the United States
Department of Agriculture as Volume 6, of the Con-

44

tributions from the National Herbarium (issued July
31, 1901), and later (October, 1901), was reissued as a
report from the Alabama Geological Survey. After
midsummer of 1897 Dr. Mohr became so occupied in the
preparation of the manuscript for this great work that
at his request the sending of plants was discontinued,
except as he occasionally asked for material in some spe-
cial group. The later collections have been determined by
Dr. J. K. Small, Mr. G. V. Nash, Dr. Edward L. Greene
and other specialists, and by the writer^ who has recently
had an opportunity to compare some of the more doubt-
ful material with the rich collections in the herbarium
of the New York Botanical Garden. Some fifty species
are reported by Dr. Mohr of our collecting that are not
represented in the harbarium of the Polytechnic Insti-
tute ; or at least are not represented under the name by
which Dr. . Mohr reports them. These si^ecies are in-
cluded in this list, Dr. Mohr being cited in each case as
the authority. These specimens will be found either in
the herbarium of Alabama plants deposited by Dr.
Mohr at the State University at Tuscaloosa, or in his
private herbarium, which is now incorporated with the
National Herbarium at Washington. In part, at least,
these species represent uniques that did not chance to
be again collected by us. There are, however, too many
to be wholly accounted for in this way, and it seems
probable that some of them represent cases where Dr.
Mohr found occasion to change his original determina-
tion of the specimens. It has not been possible to trace
these cases, for since the publication of Dr. Mohr's
Avork I have not had access to the collections. It has
seemed best to include these names, but with this word
of Avarning as to the possibility of error through includ-
ing two determinations for the same plant.

45

It so chanced that Dr. Mohr did very little collecting
in that part of the State covered by this list. He, how-
ever, made one visit to the rugged mountainous region
in Clay county and secured a number of plants that
were not taken by us. A few plants have also from time
to time been collected in this region by various mem-
bers of the State Geological Survey. Fifty-two plants
from these sources are recorded by Dr. Mohr from this
region that do not appear in our collections. These are
included in this list, the proper credit being given. It
is probable that the specimens representing them are all
in the herbarium at Tuscaloosa.

The Metamorphic region of Alabama as mapped by
the State Geological Survey, is a triangular area lying on
the eastern side of the State. It extends from near the
southeast corner of Lee county at a point nearly oppo-
site Columbus, Ga., northerly along the State line for
about a hundred miles to a point in the northern -part
of Cleborne county. From this point the second side of
the triangle extends southwestw^^ardly for about the same
distance, to a point in Chilton county, some three miles
east of the line of the Louisville & Nashville railroad,
and from here another hundred miles east-southeast to
the point of beginning. This area comprises the south-
ernmost extension of the Appalachian mountain system.
It is underlaid by granite and other metamorphic rocks
which exert their usual influence on the topography,
giving high, rugged hills and frequent exposures of bare
rock. There are, however, few vertical or overhanging
cliffs, such as are frequent to the north and west in the
region underlaid by the coal measures. The soil varies
from a light and rather coarse sandy loam to the red
hornblendic soil so characteristic of the Piedmont region
of Georgia. In many places it is much incumbered with
angular fragment of quartz and other hard resistant

46

rocks. The original timber gro\Ytli varied from almost
pure long leaf pine forests at the southern border and
along the blufPs of the Tallapoosa, to pure hardwood
forests on the richer areas, especially to the northward.
The greater part of the area was, however, a mixed for-
est of hardwoods and long or short leaf pines. The re-
gion is divided into nearly equal parts by the Tallapoosa
river, the portion to the south and east being the high,
broad ridge that forms the divide between this stream
and the Chattahoochee. The northwestern portion
fonning the divide l)etween the Tallapoosa and the Coosa
i;s more rugged and broken, and in the Talladega Moun-
tains reaches the highest elevations to be found in the
State (2,300 feet). This is one of the most interesting
parts of the State, and deserves much more extended
study. It was visited only once by Dr. Mohr and once
by the writer.

This metomorphic region is of special interest botani-
cally since it constitutes the southernmost extension of
the Carolina Life Zone. Many of the characteristic
plants of the Appalachian system find here their most
southerly stations while mingling witli these northern
representatives are many plants that have pushed up
fi'om the Gulf region. This mingling of the two floras
ac€ounts for the large number of species found. Of the
1146 species and varieties ennumerated in the following
list, 94 are new to the State, and are not included in Dr.
Mohr's work. These are indicated by an asterisk (*).
There are 76 others tliat were previously known in Ala-
bama only from the northern part of the State. These
represent an extension of the known range in the State
to the southward, and are marked by a dagger (f).
There are also 167 species that represent a northerly ex-
tension of the known range Avithin the State. These are
indicated by a double dagger ( |) . The larger number

47

in this latter class is accoiiuted for by the fact that Au-
burn, where the greater part of tlie collecting was done,
is on the extreme southern border of the metamorphic
Region. In fact the more sandy lands of the central
pine belt extend atone point to within half a mile of the
College building. All the plants collected in the neigh-
borhood of Auburn have been included in the list
whether they were taken from one side or the other of
this rather vaguely defined line. While most of the
plants that are marked witli the double dagger are un-
doubtedly characteristic of the central pine belt rather
than of the metamorphic hills; still it is probable that
almost or quite all of them are to be found at some point
on the more sandy lands that are clearly within this re-
gion proper.

The ecological relations of tlie flora have not in all
cases been critically studied. The topographical features
of the country will, of course, limit the plant societies
or formations. The following situations have each a
more or less clearly marked flora, and the brief
note on habitat following each species in the list
will, in most cases, indicate the nature of the locality
where the phmt should be sought. Beginning with the
hydrophytes we may distinguish, first, the plants of the
rapidly mo\dng streams with which the region is abund-
antly supplied. Second, plants of pools and ponds. Ponds
are not frequent, those found being mostly artificial.
Tliird, marsh plants, inhabiting certain open miry
places, and the open boggy banks of streams. Such
areas are restricted and rather infrequent, but certain
plants are found only in such localities. Fourth, swamp
plants of the poorly drained timbered land along
streams. In clay land there are likely to be "alder
swamps," the prevailing growth being alder (Alinis ni-

48

gosa) and willow {Balix nigra) frequentl}' T\itli a dense
undergrowth of cane {Arandlnaria tecta). In sandy
land swamps are more often "bay heads" with a prevail-
ing growth of white bay {Magnolia Virginiana) , red bay
[Persea pvhescens) and maple {Acer rHhruin.) ■ In
places these "bay heads' 'develop into "Sphagnum bogs,"
where the ground is carpeted with peat moss {Sphagnum
^p.). Each of these varieties of swamp has its own pe-
culiar association of plants. Of mesophyte associations
w6 have, 1st, the plants of the better drained creek
and river bottoms, and, 2nd, the moister and richer
northern slopes of the uplands. Such locations are usu-
ally heavily timbered mostly with hard woods, but
occasionally mixed with loblolly pine {Punts laeda) in
the lowlands, and with the short leaf pine {Pinus
echinata) in the uplands. These associations are rich
in the number of species and include most of the more
northern types. The plants from the Gulf region are
to be sought on the dryer, more sandy uplands, and in
the sandy bay heads and Sphagnum bogs. More or
less distinctly zerophytic associations occupy the greater
part of the upland area. Here we may distinguish.
1st, plants of the dry hardwood forests. These are usu-
ally found on the south slopes of the red clay hills;
2nd, plants of mixed woods, including long or short leaf
pines and hard woods. This type of forest is the pre-
vailing one over a large part of the entire region; 3rd,
plants of the long leaf pine {Piniis palusfris) forests.
These are confined to the extreme southern border and
to a strip along the hills bordering the Tallapoosa river.
A large number of southern species are found in this long
leaf pine association ; Ith, an extremely zerophytic asso-
ciation found on exposed granite outcrops. Occasionally
granite outcrops occur where they are somewhat moisted

49

by a stream or spring and here we find still a different
association of plants. Besides these Avhich ma^^ be con-
sidered as constituting the natural plant covering of
the region we have other assoeiations whose advent is
determined by the presence of man. Among these we
may distinguish, 1st, the weeds of cultivated fields and
gardens ; 2nd, the weeds of pastures, roadsides and waste
places; 3rd, the plants of abandoned or "turned out"
fields, and, 4th, the plants of the second growth woods
that ultimately reclothe these abandoned fields. The lob-
lolly pine {Fin us Tacda) usually plays the leading part
in this f orestization, though with it are associated sweet
gum (Liquidaiiihar) black gum ( Nyssa sjjlvatica) , per-
simmon {Diospyros) and occasional individuals of nu-
merous other trees.
