A rather low tree with a short stout trunk varying from .5—I.5 
meters in diameter, and a wide spreading top. The branches are 
numerous and bulky. The original specimens were gathered by 
Mr. Heller from trees growing in a strip of woodland between 
the city of San Antonio and the San Antonio River, Texas, no.

TOXYLON POMIFERUM Raf. Am. Month. Mag. 2: 118. 1817. 
Years ago the osage orange was planted on Paris Mountain, 
South Carolina, for hedges and for ornamental purposes. For - 
many years the settlements have been neglected and deserted and 
the tree has spread and established itself in an astonishing manner,

ALBIZZIA JULIBRISSIN Durazz. Mag. Tosc. 3: 11. 1772. 
Although not indigenous, this tree now appears as if it were 
native in the southern states. It grows along roadsides and here 
and there through the pine woods much as the honey locust (Glea- 
ttsia triacanthos) does in many localities. It ranges from North 
Carolina to Georgia, Florida and Alabama, where Prof. Underwood 
collected specimens during the past summer. It is quite abundant 
in southern Georgia.
