Travelled US. 85 from Andalusia to Laurel, Miss, for
the night. Two collections only — both of the early flowering
serrulatum complex. These plants are interesting in their
choice of habitat — within 10—12 ft of a stream but always on
the drier ground above the stream. Unfortunately they are
usually in pretty dense shade so that old flowers or seed
pods are hard to find. Obtained about 8 plants for flowering
samples. Hot again — almost stifling in the early afternoon.
