JUGLANDACEAE 



Carya cathayensis Sargent, PL Wilson, in. 187 (1916). 



This interesting recent addition to the Chinese flora had been knowTi 

 only from the type locality, the mountains round Changhua Hsien in the 

 province of Chekiang, where it was discovered in 1915 by F. N. Meyer and 

 later also collected by D. Macgregor; therefore it was considered a tree of 

 very restricted distribution, A collection of Chinese woody plants, how- 

 ever, recently received at the Arboretum contained a specimen of this 



species from Kweichou where it had been found by Dr. H. von Ilandel- 

 Mazctti as a cultivated tree between Kutchou and Liping at an altitude of 

 950 m. near the village of Mantunggai in the extreme southeastern part of 

 Kweichou near the border of Hunan and Kwangsi. This of course leaves 

 it doubtful whether the tree is growing spontaneously in that region or not, 

 but it seems more likely that it was brought from the neighboring mountains 

 than that it has been introduced from the province of Chekiang, a distance 

 of about 750 miles. If the Chinese Hickory were frequently cultivated by 

 the Chinese, it would seem strange that such a distinct and handsome tree 

 had not been discovered earlier in some of the better explored regions of 

 China. The spontaneous occurrence of Carya cathayensis in Kweichou 

 would extend its range south westward from 119"^ to 109° E. Long, and 

 would make probable the occurrence of this tree in Kiangsi, Hunan and 

 possibly Kwangsi.
