With Carya Texa7ia, C. DC, Ann. Sci. Nat. (IV), xviii., 33, 

 I am entirely unacquainted. 



The Herbaria are not without indications of additional forms 

 to those I have been able to separate. Noteworthy among these 

 is a specimen collected by Mr. Curtiss at Lookout Mountain, 

 Tenn., and preserved in the National Herbarium. It is in fruit, 

 and belongs, I suspect, to the group with thin husks. The fruit 

 is oblong, an inch in length and strongly four-winged by the pro- 

 jecting edges of the involucre valves. The leaflets are uniformly 

 seven, ovate-lanceolate, acuminate, and remarkably pale beneath, 

 in which character it differs from all the species I know. There 

 is a slight amount of pubescence on the rachis and midveins. 



In the mountains of Sussex County, New Jersey, there oc- 

 curs a form of H. glabra, which has more or less pubescence on 

 the lower surfaces of the leaves, and particularly on the rachis 

 at the base of the leaflets.
