Not illustrated.1911 Excerpt: ... THE PLANT LIFE OF HARTSVILLE, S. C. BY W. C. COKER INTRODUCTION South Carolina has been the home of several of the most prominent botanists of America. Thomas Walter, an Englishman by birth, who lived on the Santee River in the upper part of St. John's Parish; Stephen Elliott, of Charleston; H. W. Ravenel, of Pinopolis and later of Aiken, --these are honored names in the history of our science; nor are they by any means all who have made valuable contributions to the botany of the State. Dr. Francis Peyre Porcher, Dr. James McBryde, Dr. J. H. Mellichamp, and Prof. Louis R. Gibbes were all native South Carolinians and careful students of its flora. All of these men lived and worked in the lower half of the State, in fact all but two entirely below the Santee-River. With the exceptions mentioned below, t'te flora of the northern and northeastern parts of South Carolina was left without any particular study, and knowledge of its composition has been largely a deduction from what was reported from similiar or adjoining areas. There is much work yet to be done before the composition and-distribution of even the higher plants of the State can be said to be at all well known. Mr. Ravenel and Dr. M. A. Curtis did considerable work in the fungi, but with these exceptions the lower plants have'been studied scarcely at all. No catalog of the plants of South Carolina has ever been compiled. Elliott's book was called ' A Sketch of the Botany of South Observations on the vegetation of South Carolina by the pioneering botanists of the early days, --travellers like Catesby, Bartram and the two Michauxs, --are of much interest and value, but they can be mjntioned here only in passing.
