Inc Everglades owe their charac-
teristic 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-

rival is the magnificent live oak (Ouer-
Gus Virginiana), which sometimes
spreads it's moss-covered branches over
an area 200 feet in diameter. In the
way OF curious forest growths is the
poison tree (Metopium taxiferum). a
giant sumach with a smooth spotted
