126 LEAFLETS. 
sparsely hispidulous, not in the least sulcate or stri butate deeply, 
irregularly and sharply somewhat favose-wrinkled. 
Lake City, Florida, 25 June, 1901, Lucia McCulloch in U. 8. 
Herb. Species in foliage not unlike that of the common 7. 
pubescens, but by inflorescence and fruits most distinct.

xxi. 486. 
T. compactuM. Shrub apparently low and erect; branches 
when young villous-tomentulose, as also the stout rigid ascend- 
ing petioles of the leaves: leaflets very large, the terminal 34 
inches long, 23 to 3 inches broad, of slightly obovate outline 
but very strongly 3 to 5 lobed, the lobes shallow but broad and 
obtuse, the pair smaller but similar, all of firm texture, deep 
green, sparsely pubescent above with short curved hairs, beneath 
similarly so, with also a denser hirsute hairiness on the primary 
veins: panicles short and very dense in fruit, numerous and 
closely approximate, the whole fruiting branch concealed by the 
crowded fruit-clusters: fruit large, narrowly and deeply sulcate, 
quite spherical, densely hirtellous, not polished. 
Species of good characters and remarkable aspect, seen in but 
one sheet in U.S. Herb., from Woodlawn, Va., by William 
Hunter, Aug., 1899. The leaflets as to form, texture and color 
recall strongly those of some oaks of the black oak series; 
though the lobes are all obtuse. 
T. MONTICOLA. Low, erect, not rooting above ground, rather 
slender, the mere stem only 8 or 10 inches high, but the large 
foliage, including the greatly elongated petioles, adding 6 to 8 
inches more to the height of the plant, the stem sharply angled, 
scantily puberulent, not lenticellate: leaflets of ovate or oval 
rather than obovate outline, all sinuately and deeply 5-lobed, 
the lobes very obtuse, the terminal leaflet 24 to 34 inches long, 
the others smaller, all of firm texture, bright green, minutely 
reticulate, faintly marked above with scattered short curved 
hairs, beneath more densely so, even the stronger pubescence of 
the veins short and curved rather than hirtellous: fruits in 
small sessile glomerules rather than panicles, each rather large, 
round but subpyriform, sulcate-striate, dotted with a muriculate 
tuberculation, but hardly pubescent.
