3. Hicoria ovata (Mill) Brit. Shagbark, Shellbark Hickory, etc. (See 



p. -.) 

 Common in all parts of Indiana. Common in White County in rich, 

 moist soils or the edges of sand ridges. Sargent has split the species 

 by designating two varieties. (See p. 437.) 



(a) Hicoria ovata fraxinifolia Sargent. 



As noted in the appended list, this variety occurs in three other 

 counties besides White. Without attempting any description here, I 

 simply add that Sargent verified a specimen for me, taken one and one- 

 half miles southwest of Reynolds. 



(b) Hicoria ovata var. Nuttallii Sargent. 



This variety occurs in Indiana according to two determinations by 

 Sargent. Specimens were taken in Dekalb County, south of Auburn. 

 Leaflets 5. (Beam's Nos. 19, 291, 19, 293.) 



4. Hicoria laciniosa (Michx. f.) Sarg. Big Shagbark, Kingnut, etc. (See 



p. 437.) 

 This species bears a close resemblance to the preceding species. At 

 this time I am unable to define its distribution in White County other 

 than to say that it occurs in Honey Cieek Township. Rich soil, edges 

 of sand ridges. 



5. Hicoria microcarpa (Nutt) Brit. Small-fruited Hickory, Little Pig- 



nut or Shag-bark. 

 The habitat and range of this species has not been well studied 

 (Deam 1911 Report). Sargent now calls the old microcarpa, ovalis — 

 Carya ovalis Sarg. — or Hicoria ovalis, and has singled out no less than 

 four varieties under the species. Since hickories are more or less 

 abundant in White County this species with one or more of its varieties 

 may be found there. I say this in view of my limited number of speci- 

 mens and its reported occurrence in Tippecanoe County. (See list p. 437.) 



6. Hicoria alba (L) Brit. White Hickory, Bull-Nut, Mocker Nut, etc. 



Said to be rather rare in the northern part of the State. Locally 

 more or less abundant in Honey Creek Township (White County), which 

 with its low sand ridges is more suited to its drier situations. 



7. Hicoria glabra (Mill) Brit. Black Hickory, Pignut, etc. 



Sargent now styles this species porcina. I have taken no specimens
