A large tree when growing in fertile soils, 

 feet in diameter. Leaves pinnate, leaflets 7 — 9. 

 pendulous, 4 to 6 inches long. Scales 3-parted. Stamens 4 

 florets terminal. Nut oblong, conspicuously pointed, with a tapering sum- 

 mit, angled, covered with a very thick, 4-parted pericarp. 



this, like all of the other species of Hickory, grows only in fertile soils. 

 It is rare in, the low country of Caroluia; but the greater part of our hicko- 

 ries resemble each other so closely in their leaves, and vary so much >"^"^|^ 

 fruit, that it is very difficult to discriminate the species. This is i"e™^^r/^ 

 for the thickness of its pericarp, from whence it is frequently called thicK- 

 shelled Hickory. Its nuts are well flavoured.
