 kern 28. — Britton 219. 



Rich woodlands ; frequent in the northern counties and occa- 

 sional in the Middle district within our limits. Many trees have 

 undoubtedly been introduced, and probably all those in Cape 

 May County come under this head. 



Fl. — Early 'May to late May, when the leaves are partly ex- 

 panded. Fr. — Autumn of the first season. 



Middle DwfnVf.— Farmingdalc, Oaklyn (S), Sewell (S), S- of Millville.*

Fruiting and Flozvering Data. — ^Flowers appear after the 

 leaves have unfolded. Fruit ripens the first season. 



* Juglans cinera Linnaeus, Sp. PI. Ed. H. 1415. 1763 [North America] is 

 frequent in woods in the northern counties, but within our limits known only 

 from the statements of Knieskern and Willis, who record it respectively from 

 Ocean and Monmouth and Burlington Counties, where it seems hardly likely 

 to have been native.
