THE KANSAS FOREST TREES IDENTIFIED BY LEAVES AND FRUJT. 



BY W. A. KELLERMAN, PH.D., AND MRS. W. A. KELLERMAN, 

 Manhattan, Kansas. 



The artificial Key here given is for the rapid identification of the genera in the 

 following list. Where there are several representatives under any genus, a second 

 key has been given, by means of which the species may be readily determined. The 

 short descriptions added will doubtless be found quite sufficient to verify the cor- 

 rectness of the identification. We have made use of such characters in the prepa- 

 ration of the keys as are most obvious, and by which the determination can be 

 satisfactorily made during the growing season. The leaves have furnished most of 

 these characters, but we have made use of others, as of the branches, trunks, and fruits, 

 where satisfactory identification could not otherwise be made. The flowers, when 

 conspicuous, are generally mentioned in the descriptions. The characters as given 

 by Gray and other authors, we have made free use of, yet we have had at the same 

 time the specimens before us in nearly all cases. The characterization of the wood 

 is taken from Sargent's Report on the Forest Trees of North America. 



This same authority has been followed in the nomenclature and arrangement of 

 the genera and species. We have made his statements as to the geographical distri- 

 bution the basis for the preparation of our list. A few trees have been given which 

 have been as yet doubtfully or perhaps not at all actually found within the limits of 

 the State, but have been detected in neighboring States. The eastern species of 

 catalpa (C. bignonioides) is so generally and abundantly cultivated with our western 

 form (C. speciosa) that we have included it in the list. A few of the species given 

 may be only shrubby in this State, but we have thought best to include them. Per- 

 haps it would be well, also, to reproduce Prof. Sargent's distinction between trees 

 and shrubs, given in the Catalogue of Forest Trees, which is as follows: 



"Species which grow from the ground with a single stem, either wholly or over a 

 large portion of the area of their distribution, are admitted into the following cata- 

 logue without reference to the height or size they may attain."' 



The signs of degrees (°j and of minutes ('') are used in the descriptions for feet 

 and inches, respectively.
