 Clay County, banks of Talladega Creek, 800 to 1,000 feet. IMke County, near Troy 

 (Walnut Creek). Uutler County, Mount Sterling, on limestone hills; not rare. The 

 Alabama tree agrees perfectly with Pursb's description ; as observed in the State 

 it is scarcely over medium size; the leaves smaller than in the type, generally 

 acutely 3 lobed, with open rounded sinuses, pale to glaucous beneath. Altbougli 

 toward its northern limit closely connected with the type, in its southern range this 

 form is easily recognized as a well-marked variety.* Further, judging by the jihrase, 

 "A. foliis breviter trilobis,'' and by his giving Carolina for the home of the tree, there 

 can be little doubt that Michaux in the description of his Acer barbatum had this 

 .Soutliern tree in mind.
