CLIFTONIA MONOPHYLLA (Lam.) Britton, Bull. Torr. Club, 16: 310. 1889.
This curious and local plant forms remarkably dense thickets in the swamps and districts bordering streams in the vicinity of the Altamaha river, especially north of Jesup, Georgia. The stems there range from one-half of an inch to one foot in diame ter, and the thickets they form remind one of those made by the growth of Kabala latifolia and Rhododendron maximum on the higher mountains of North Carolina.
