ARNOLD ARBORETUM NOTES 

 Oxydendrum arboreum, the Sour 

 Wood or Sorrel-tree, so-called from 

 the acrid taste of the leaves, is the 

 only American tree in the Arboretum 

 which flowers in August. It is a na- 

 tive of the Appalachian forests from 

 southwestern Pennsylvania and is 

 most common on mountain slopes, 

 but reaches the coast of Virginia and 

 North Carolina. The Sorrel-tree, 

 which is perfectly hardy in New Eng- 

 land, is a beautiful tree with bright 

 green shining leaves which turn 

 bright scarlet in the autumn, white 

 Andromeda-like flowers erect on the 

 branches of spreading or slightly 

 drooping terminal clusters, and pale 

 capsular fruits which in the autumn 

 are conspicuous among the brilliant 

 leaves. There is a group of these 

 trees among the Laurels at the base 

 of Hemlock Hill. 



Many shrubs with conspicuous flow- 

 ers bloom in the Arboretum during the 

 summer months. The list includes 

 the Heathers (Calluna vulgaris), and 

 several species of Genista and Cy- 

 tisus. Of this European group the 

 handsomest which can be grown here 

 is the bright yellow-flowered Cytisus 

 nigricans, the yellow-flowered C. capi- 

 tatus, the white-flowered C. leucan- 

 thus and the yellow-flowered Woad 

 Wax and its varieties (Genista tinc- 

 torial, too well known in Essex 

 County, Massachusetts, where escaped 

 from cultivation it has ruined many 

 hundred acres of hillside pastures. 

 The Lespedezas with their abundant 

 purple, pea-shaped flowers, and the 

 handsomest of the Chinese Buddleias 

 are still to bloom, as is the very hardy 

 Acanthopanax sessiliflorum, a vigor- 

 ous shrub of eastern Siberia, most 

 conspicuous in winter when the com- 

 pact round clusters of the shining 

 black fruits are on the ends of the 

 branches. The Japanese Hydrangea 

 paniculata and its varieties, and the 

 Hydrangeas of North America pro- 

 duce here the showiest July and Au- 

 gust flowers.
