SLASH PINE BOGS, OR BAYS
(FIG. 20)
In various parts of Florida, as well as in adjoining states, there are extensive sphagnous bays in which the slash pine is the dominant tree, probably exceeding in bulk all the rest of the vegetation. Considerable areas in Okefinokee Swamp* and along the St. Marys

Fig. 20.-Slash-pine bog about 6 miles south of Tavares, Lake County. Trees all Pinus Elliottii. Herbaceous vegetation mostly Anchistea Virginica (a fern), all dead at this time, of course, with nearly all the pinnae dropped
off, leaving the stalks. Feb. 20, 1909.
River, just across the line in Georgia, are of this character, and in this state I have seen such bays in Nassau, Lake, Polk and Hills*See Popular Science Monthly 74: 607. 1909.
