Cedars were seen south of Monticello, especially along the lower course 

 of Big Creek. (See map, p. 451.) 



Quercus macrocarpa Michx. See p. 409. 



Quercus Mxihlenhergii Engelm. See p. 411. 



Quercus rubra L. See p. 431. 



Populus heteo'ophylla L. Swamp or Downy Poplar, River- or Swamp 

 Cotton-wood., Balm-of-Gilead. In Indiana this tree is "rare and local, 

 except in the lower Wabash bottoms." The published records of the 

 distribution are as follows: Delaware, Jay, Randolph and Wayne (Phin- 

 ney) ; Franklin (Meyncke) ; Gibson and Posey (Schneck) ; Hamilton 

 (Doane) ; Jay (McCaslin) ; Knox (Ridgway) ; Miami (Gorby) ; Vigo 

 (Blatchley) ; Blackford, Laporte, Posey, Wells (Deam). 



I found specimens near the Carroll County line, five and three- 

 fourths miles northeast of Brookston, in low, rich soil; trees 25 or more 

 feet high and up to 6 inches in diameter. (See p. 454 for other species 

 of Populus.) 



Acer nigrum Michx. Black Sugar Maple, Black or Hard Maple. 

 I cannot speak with certainty of the exact distribution of maples in the 

 county. Species of this genus are very frequently used as shade trees 

 and all have some escapes. Members of this genus were found in 

 abundance near Buffalo and south along the Tippecanoe. Some trees 

 are also to be found in oak forests of Honey Creek Township. A. nigrum 

 was found about three miles south of Monticello. The group consisted 

 of a number of large trees (70 feet high by 17 inches diameter) on a 

 sandy, gravelly slope. (See other Maples p. 458.) 



Juglans cinerea L. Butternut, White or Lemon Walnut, Oilnut. 

 Reported from many counties, but said to occur in very sparing numbers 

 in some. It is rather rare in White County and adheres to the banks 

 of the Tippecanoe. Specimens were taken from fair-sized trees on high, 

 rich, gravelly soil, east of Lowe's bridge, about four miles southwest 

 of Buffalo. (See p. 454 for nigra.) 



Platanus occidentalis L. Sycamore, Button-wood, Button-ball, Plane 

 Tree. This is Indiana's distinctive tree. Found in all parts of the 

 State, more or less frequent along streams or the borders of lakes. It 

 has the distinction of being the largest deciduous tree in North America. 

 (Tree at Worthington, Indiana, over 44 feet in circumference and 150 

 feet high.)
