Common thrcuighout tlie State, even in the higher 

 mountains. 



Dr. Asa Gray, in his account of a "Botanical Excur- 

 sion to the mountains of North Carolina," says : "On the 

 rocky banks of the Potomac below Harper's Ferry, we saw 

 for the first time the common Locust tree (Robinia Rseud- 

 acacki) decidedly indigenous. It probably extends to the 

 southenn confines of Pennsylvania; and from this point 

 south, it is everywhere abundant, but we did not meet with 

 it east of the Blue Ridge." The Blue Ridge forms our east- 

 ern boundary line between Jefferson county and the State of 

 Virginia. Our State is therefore the eastern extension of this 

 species, though it extends farther north into Pennsylvania.
