SKETCH =.” PG; £ Me oS Oe OF THE ne BOTANY SOUTH-CAROLINA AND GEORGIA. IN TWO VOLUMES. a an VOLUME Ii. CHARLESTON : PUBLISHED BY J. R. SCHENCK. 1824. PREFACE. " 5 7 ~ gi oe ili a AFTER many interruptions this. Sketch of | the pheenogamous plants of South-Carolina and_ Georgia has at length been terminated. It was — commenced when a work of this description was — much wanted; it has been continued after. that © want has been ina great measure supplied, from a sense of obligation to those who had encour aged its publication. . ig That this work should be imperfect was una- voidable. The author has never had leisure or = opportunity to visit every portion of the district whose plants it includes; he has had no access to Botanic Gardens where he might observe and examine those plants which had escaped his — own researches; he has been able to consult but ie a very small number of the costly works, or _ even of the journals in which i in Europe deserip- ~ tions of the plants of North America are occa- sionally published, and he has had noopportunity of inspecting any herbarium but the one which through the kindness of his friends and his own exertions he has himself formed. Under such — i. circumstances it will not be surprising if he shall. * * e . ee a9 PREFACE. be found to have published under new names some species already known in Europe, some which may have been imperfectly or incorrectly described by preceding authors, or some which he himself may have mistaken. While there- fore he hopes that the errors from these sources will not be numerous, he could yet only offer it as “a sketch” in which he has included all such _ plants within the Jimits of South-Carolina and Georgia as he has had an opportunity of exam- ining, and such as had been ascribed to the same districts by Botanists on whose authority he ~ thought himself compelled to rely. He trasts, however, that this Sketch will be found to have somewhat extended the know- ledge of the Botany of the. Southern States; ~ that it contains descriptions of many plants not heretofore known; that it has rectified some. er- rors; that it has elucidated some of the doubt- ful plants in the works of our older writers, and that it contains a careful, and he hopes a faithful description of such plants as he himself has seen; In the time which has elapsed since the pub- lication of the early numbers of this work many , changes have taken place in Botaiical nomen- _clature, many reforms: which by limiting more strictly generic characters, have led to many subdivisions of old genera. The natural order of the Graminez in particular has been remo- delled, and in some of the most natural families, — the Cruciferae, the Umbellifere, and the Com- posite, an almost entirely new distribution of PREFACE. v the species has taken place. It would require a new edition rather than a supplement, to indi- cate all of these changes, and any one who is conversant with the Genera as determined by Schreber and Willdenow, will readily com- prehend the principles on which these chan- ges have been made, and the characters of the new genera which have been adopted or pro- posed. Most of the alterations which have been made in American plants will be found in Nut- tall’s ‘Genera of. North American Plants,” or | in the valuable Flora of the Northern States now publishing by Dr. Torrey of New-York. If however the friends who have hitherto by | their contributions added so much to the value of this work shall not find their patience ex- hausted; if they and if others who may be at- tracted to the study of this interesting science will continue to communicate to the author such plants as he may appear to have omitted, such as he may have inaccurately or imperfectly de- scribed, and will point out errors of any kind which he may have committed, he may hope at a future day to present this work in a form more ~ worthy of their approbation. To those friends he feels gratified to make — public his acknowledgements. With the late Dr. Muhlenberg of Lancaster, Penn. he was accustomed for many years to compare and — collate the plants of Carolina and Pennsylva- mia, and derived from this correspondence vi PREFACE. much instruction when his attention was first directed to Botanical pursuits. To Dr. Lewis de Schweinitz he is indebted for notes on many genera and species of our plants, for a long and friendly correspondence, and for many specimens of plants from North- Carolina. To Zaccheus Collins, Esq. of Philadelphia, he wishes to return-his-thanks for repeated acts of kindness, for many and very beautiful spe- _cimens of Northern plants which served him as standards of comparison, for some rare and in- teresting minerals, and for much information on Subjects connected with his researches. To Dr. John Torrey of New-York, he is in- debted for many of the plants of New-Jersey and New-York, for an opportunity of compar- ing many doubtful species, and of ascertaining many of the plants of Pursh which were to him uncertain or obscure. To Mr. Rafinesque of Lexington, Kentucky, he is under obligations for many plants of the Western States, and for the pleasure of an in- teresting correspondence. ; . To Dr. Bigelow and Mr. F. Boott of Boston, he wishes also to express his obligations for many very beautiful specimens of plants from the Eastern States. — * To Mr. Nuttall he is also indebted for some rare plants from the Arkansaw and Missouri. To those who have aided him in collecting : ; 5 the plants from which this sketch has been com-’ PREFACE. Vil piled, he feels his manifold obligations; he wishes to express them particularly to Mr. James Jackson of Louisville, Georgia, from whom he has received many new and many rare plants, and whose notes have always ren- dered his specimens more valuable. To Dr. Samuel Boykin of Milledgeville, who residing im a most interesting district of coun- try, has added much to his knowledge of its Flora by the valuable collection of specimens - occasionally sent him. Wie To Mr. N. Herbemont of Columbia, South- Carolina, for many specimens of rare plants, collected around Columbia and in the upper | districts of Carolina. To Dr. Wm. Baldwin of the United States Navy, a Botanist of distinguished talents and indefatigable activity, who while residing in the southern districts of Georgia communicated many new species to the early numbers of this work, and would have continued to enrich it with his discoveries if he had not unfortunately been recalled to other stations and to climes less favourable to his health. In the pursuit of his favourite studies he died on the banks of the Missouri, in the expedition of Major Long to the Rocky Mountains. But principally to the late Dr. James Mac- bride a tribute is due not only for the services which he himself actually rendered, but for the — contributions which he induced others to offer. Devotedly attached to science, he had the talent viii PREFACE. to make it popular wherever his influence ex- tended. Profoundly skilled-in his profession and high in the confidence of his fellow citizens, he fell a victim to the fatigues and exposure of an extensive practice. In the midst of a brilliant career, with prospects of increasing usefulness and extended reputation, he died at the'early age of 33.. He left to many friends a mournful inheritance—the~task of lamenting one so lightly gifted, so prematurely lost. To WIS MEMORY THIS VOLUME IS INSCRIBED as’ a. testi- monial of long continued friendship and of un- abated respect... It is among the incidents which embitter life that those who have shared, in common labours should so often be separa- ted before the termination of their pursuits. The individuals who took most interest in the compilation of this sketch, scarcely lived to see the commencement of its publication.

It is remarkable for the superficial direction of its roots which appear to spread almost entirely on the surface of the ground. The bark is said to be nearly, if not quite equal to that of the oak for the uses of the tanner, and its*wood resembles mahogany in colour, but its grain is rather too coarse to be used ‘for fine articles of fnrniture. — .

The most northern locality in which I haye seen this plant is on Edings’ Island, at the entrance of Port Royal inlet. I found it there growing on the bark of the Magnolia Grandiflora, and sent it to Dr. Muhlenberg, who placed it in his catalogue as the E. Magnolia. In passing to the south along sea-coast, it becomes more common, and is found on several species of oak, and I believe on other trees.

Its fibre is compact, heavy, strong, and du- rable, twisted so as to split with difficulty, and-hardening with age or on ex- posure to weather. The natural curvature of the branches is in general pre- cisely such as the timbers of a ship require, so that the strength of the wood. may, with a little care, be entirely preserved. It is also used in machines, for the fellows of cog wheels, and in Aeeral wherever strength and durability are required, and where its weight and crookedness form no objection. Its bark is excellent for the use of the Tanner, and its smaller branches are gen- poe Sea-tsland Cotton.
