CHINESE COUNTERPART OF THE AMERICAN SASSAFRAS 



The Chinese Sassafras (5. tzumu) is the only other species of sassafras known besides the 

 American. It reaches a height of 50 feet when growing wild and produces a timber which 

 is much valued by the mountaineers of the region where it is found. Except for small 

 differences, it is practically identical with the North American species. Photograph from
