ROBINIA L. 



R. PsEUD-AcAciA L. Yellow Locust. 



Common throughout the State, even in the higher moun- 

 tains. 



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

 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 Pseud- 

 acacia) decidedly indigenous. It probably extends to the 

 southern 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 Pennsyl- 

 vania.
