Excerpt from South Florida: A Geographic Reconnaissance With the object of investigating the problems involved in the geographic distribution of the plants the writer has made three trips to South Florida, two at his own expense and the third under the auspices of the Geographical Society of Philadelphia, in June, 1912. The first two trips were made to the east coast, as far south as Long Key. Botanic observations were made from the windows Of moving trains travelling north and south and extended stops were made at St. Augustine, West Palm Beach, Delray, Miami, Princeton, Naranja, Homestead and Detroit, where plants were collected, and where geographic notes and maps were carefully made. The coastal islands and the Everglades were visited on both of these visits. In the third journey to Florida under the auspices of the Geographical Society of Philadelphia, it was planned to cover a wider territory and to supplement the botanic and geographic observations of the first trips by a visit to the west coast. While Miami was chosen as headquarters during the visits to the east coast, Ft. Myers was made headquarters for the botanic exploration of the west coast Accordingly leaving Philadelphia on Saturday, June I, 1912, Ft. Myers was reached early in the afternoon on Monday, June 3.
