the temperate species are here repre-
scented by varieties or subspecies which
take the place of the northern types.
The Everglades owe their charac-
terlstic features of marsh, sloughs, and
shallow ponds, to their recent origin
and their slight elevation above the
sea level. Their general surface is
not high enough to permit the forma-
ton of deep valleys by eroding
streams and the water appears to
ooze slowly seward, on the west side
toward the southwest and on the east
side toward he southeast.
Royal Pam State park of course
takes its name from the royal palms
| (Roystonia regia) which possibly form
| its chief ornament. These splendid
palms often rise to a height of 100
feet, dwarflng most of their compete
tors of the palm family. A worthy
rival is the magnificent live oak (Quer-
Gus Virginiana), which sometimes
spreads its moss-covered branches over
an area 200 feet in diameter. In the
way of curious forest growths Is the
poison tree (MetopluIn taxiferum), a
giant sumach with a smooth spotted
trunk; its sap acts very much on the
human skin like the poison ivy of the
north. Another tree to be catalogued
among the curiosities Is the strangline
fig (Ficus aurea). 1t begins life some
what like mstletoe. sprouting from
tiny seed dropped on the limb of q

which take root when they reach the
