Kewensis and still more conclusively by the manuscript of Solander 
for Aiton's Hortus Kewensis, where the habitat is quoted as “Habi- 
tat in Marylandia, Jones, in Pennsylvania Math. Hultgren." The 
specimen collected by Math. Hultgren in Pennsylvania in 1781 is 
still in the herbarium of the British Museum and has according to 
Mr. E. G. Baker, to whom we are indebted for a copy of the manu- 
script description and a tracing of the specimen, the leaves densely 
and softly pubescent beneath. From the published description how- 
ever, it seems as if the species were based on Lee's cultivated plant. 
Ehrhart's F. grandifolia represents apparently the northern form. 
It was described from cultivated plants and Miinchhausen’s F. 
americana latifolia and Duroi’s F. sylvatica c. americana latifolia 
based also on cultivated plants quoted as synonyms; these were 
probably of the same origin as Lee’s plant, which is, according to 
Loudon's description and the figure of his F. ferruginea var. latifolia, 
the northern form and also according to a specimen in the herbarium 
of the Arnold Arboretum collected at Kew and labeled F. ferruginea var. 
latifolia (C. Lee & Son). The F. Americana latifolia of Wangenheim 
also represents the northern form. Thus the name F. grandifolia 
Ehrh. remains with the northern variety as the type and for the south- 
ern variety the first available varietal name is F. ferruginea var. caro- 
liniana of Loudon. The synonymy and the description of the varieties 
and forms to be distinguished may be appended here.
