Maine, common along the Penobscot fiver from Oldtown 

 to Bangor; Vermont, -- along Lake Champlain; Gardner's 



island, and the north end of Smith Hero; Khode Island 

 (Bailey); Connecticut, frequent (J. N. Bishop, Report of 

 Connecticut r><><tr<l of Agriculture , 1895). 



South along the mountains to Florida; west to the Rocky 

 mountains. 



The claims to specific distinction rest mainly upon the 

 usual absence of pubescence from the young shoots, leaves 

 and petioles, the color of the leaves (which is bright green 

 above and scarcely less so beneath), the usually more distinct 

 serratures above the center, and a rather more acuminate 

 apex. 



Apparently an extreme form of F. pubescens, connected with 

 it by numerous intermediate forms through the entire range 

 of the species.
