turn by T. G. Harbison from 1913-1920. A short description as of H. 



'parviflora is appended. 



Leaves oblong-ovate to slightly obovate or elliptic, abruptly long- 

 pointed or acuminate at apex, narrow and cuneate or rounded at base, 

 finely serrate with minute gland-tipped teeth, densely covered with hoary 

 tomentum when they unfold, becoming glabrous or nearly glabrous, 7 or 

 8 cm. long and 2.5-3 cm. wide, and on vigorous leading shoots up to 16 

 cm. long and 6 cm. wide; petioles hoary tomentose when they first appear, 

 becoming glabrous, 6-10 mm. in length. Flowers at the end of March or 

 early in April, 8-12 mm. long, on pedicels more or less densely villose- 

 pubescent with white hairs, becoming nearly glabrous, 8-10 mm. in length; 

 calyx densely hoary-tomentose or rarely villose-pubescent; corolla 9-12 

 mm. in diameter. Fruit ripening in August and September, clavate, 

 gradually narrowed into the long-stipitate base, 2-3.5 cm. long, 4-winged, 

 the wings of equal width, or occasionally with the alternate wings narrower 



than the others. 



A slender tree 8-10 mm. high, with a trunk 20-25 cm. in diameter, 

 covered with dark brown nearly black thick bark divided by deep longi- 

 tudinal furrows into narrow rounded rough ridges, small light brown 

 slightly ridged branches and slender branchlets hoary-tomentose; when 

 they first appear, becoming pubescent or nearly glabrous by the end of 

 their first season; or a shrub sometimes only a few feet high.

A specimen collected by T. G. Harbison in April, 1914, in South Caro- 

 lina opposite the city of Augusta, Georgia, and a specimen collected 

 by him from a shrub growing by the side of the road leading from Augusta 

 to the " Old Ferry" are perhaps of this species. The flowers are only 1 cm. 

 long, and the pedicels are villose, but the calyx is nearly glabrous. Fruit 

 of these plants has not been collected. 



Fraxinus caroliniana var. Rehderiana, n. var.—Fraxinus Rehderiana 

 Lingelsheim in Engler, Pflanzenr. iv.-243, 42 (1920). 



Differing from the type in the pubescent lower surface of the leaves 

 and in the dense pubescence of the branchlets. 



Lingelsheim suggests that F. Rehderiana may be a hybrid between F. 

 caroliniana and F. pennsylvanica but there is no appearance of the latter
