EUPHORBIA HUMISTRATA EngeIm.; A. Gray, Man. Ed. 2. 386. 1856.
The known geographic ranges of the above species has lately been greatly extended southward by collections from Mississippi Professors. Tracy and Earle found it on Horn Island (2886) and at Biloxi (2913).
The name Galata cannot be applied to the Acanthaceous genus of the southern United States, with which it has lately been asso ciated, having previously been used for an entirely different plant.
I take pleasure in using in this connection the name of Prof. W. S. Yeates, State Geologist of Georgia, for while on his survey I first met this rare and peculiar species along the Flint river, in southwestern Georgia. Previously it had not been known to oc cur east of Alabama.
