A rather low tree with a short stout trunk varying from .5-1.5 

 meters in diameter, and a wide spreading top. The branches are

 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,

 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 {Gled- 

 itsia 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. 



Amorpha viRGATA Small, Bull. Torr. Club, 21 : 17. pi. lyi. 1894. 

 In the spring of 1896 Dr. Charles Mohr sent me a specimen of 

 Amorpha virgata from the mountains of Madison county, Alabama, 

 thus extending the known geographic range of the species from 

 Stone Mountain, Georgia, to northern Alabama. Dr. Mohr gives 

 the altitude of this locality as 350 meters. While collecting at 

 different points along the eastern section of the Blue Ridge dur-
