 ing, a tree of large size, and its nuts are eaten by men 

 and several species of animals. Ihe wood is put tq

 under the name of Butter Nut, Oil Nut, and IVhite. 

 Walnut. The younger Michaux has altered the 

 adopted name, and substituted one indicating the me- 

 dicinal use made of it, which certainly would be a 

 very good name if the old one had not been so long 

 established.
