vary variable in size, sometimes not above four fc^et, 

 at others nearl}' twenty feet high. The younger Mi- 

 chaux considers Q. nana of Willdenow lo be only a 

 variety of the present species ; which I very much 

 doubt.

feet. The younger Michaux considers the wood of this 



species of little value.

In South Carolina and Georgia. T? . May. v. v. The 

 Laurel Oak, or as it is sometimes called SivampJVillow 

 Gak, is about fifty or sixty feet high : its wood, ac- 

 cording to the elder Michaux, is very valuable, and 

 almost preferable to that of Q. virens. For what rea- 

 son the younger Michaux does not mention this spe- 

 cies, I cannot tell, unless he considers it only a variety 

 of the preceding ; which most certainly is not the case.
