That good-fellowship which was promoted by the botanical "clubs" of Mr. Canby's generation is now of historical interest, and the new regime has not yet...
Page 107 - Byrsonima hicida, as characteristic species. The palmetto lands (apparently Inodes Palmetto] contain more herbaceous vegetation than the other regions, including Linum Bahamensis, Sachsia Bahamensis, and Sabbatia campanulata, though also having a considerable number of shrubs. The " coppets " or "hammocks," as they are called in Florida, are areas devoid of either pines or palmettos and often occupy isolated areas entirely surrounded by pine forests as in southern Florida ; characteristic trees of...
