100 SILVA OF NORTH AMERICA. 
Rhus copailina, iii. 19. Extend range to Richardson County, southeastern Nebraska (Bessey, [ep. 
Nebraska State Board Agric. 1899, 90) ; and to eastern and southeastern Kansas (Hitchcock, Flora of Kansas, 
xii. @). 
Cladrastis, iii. 55. It has usually been supposed that this genus was first published by Rafinesque in 1825 
in his Neogenyton, or Indication of Siaty-sia New Species of Plants of North America ; but it was really 
published by him on February 21, 1824, on page 60 of the first volume of the Cincinnati Literary Gazette 
(Neophyton No. 1). 
The buds of Cladrastis are naked and are not as described, ‘‘ covered individually with thin lanceolate scales,” 
and it is the young leaves and not bud-scales which are coated with lustrous tomentum. 
Cladrastis lutea, iii. 57. Extend range to northern Alabama, where it was found in 1892 on the bluffs of 
the Tennessee River near Florence by Dr. C. Mohr as a shrub from six to eight feet high, and to Eagle Rock, 
Barry County, southwestern Missouri, where it was collected in June, 1897, by Mr. B. F. Bush. 
Add to the synonymy of this species : — 
? Sophora Kentuckea, Du Mont de Courset, Bot. Cult. ed. 2, vi. 56 (1811). 
Cladrastis fragrans, Rafinesque, Cincinnati Literary Gazette, i. 60 (Feb. 21, 1824). 
Gleditsia triacanthos, iii. 75. Extend range to Houston County in the extreme southeastern part of Min- 
nesota. (See Wheeler, Minnesota Botanical Studies, ser. 2, pt. iv. 392.) 
Gleditsia aquatica, iii. 79. Extend range to western Illinois, where it is common on the bottoms of the 
Mississippi River opposite St. Louis, and where it was found near Cahokia in 1877 by Henry Eggert; and to La 
Pointe, St. Charles County, Missouri, where it was found in October, 1882, by Mr. Eggert. 
Cercis Canadensis, iii. 95. Extend range to southern Ontario, where it was found on July 27, 1892, on 
Pelee Island in Lake Erie by Mr. John Macoun; and to eastern and southeastern Nebraska. (Zeste Herb. 
University of Nebraska.) 
Cercis Texensis, iii. 97. In the first line of the description of this tree “ twenty or nearly forty feet in height ” 
should read, — rarely forty feet in height, —and in the eighth line it should read that the petioles are abruptly 
enlarged and not contracted at both ends. 
Pithecolobium, iii. 131. An older name for this genus is Zygia of Patrick Browne, Wat. Hist. Jam. 279 
(1756) ; and as Ichthyomethia (iii. 51) of Browne has been adopted in this work instead of the more commonly 
used Piscidium of Linnzus, the same rule must be applied in the case of Zygia, and the three North American 
arborescent species become Zygia Unguis-cati, Sudworth, Zygia brevifolia, Sudworth, and Zygia flewicaulis, 
Sudworth. (See Bull. No. 14 Div. Forestry U. 8. Dept. Agric. 248 [Nomenclature of the Arborescent Flora 
of the United States ].) 
Prunus nigra, iv. 15. Extend range to southeastern Minnesota, where it grows in Houston County on the 
bottoms of the north and south forks of Crooked Creek and on Winnebago Creek, and in East Burns Valley, 
Winona County. (See Wheeler, Minnesota Botanical Studies, ser. 2, pt. iv. 392.) 
Prunus hortulana, iv. 28. Extend range to eastern and southeastern Kansas (Hitchcock, The Industrialist, 
383 [Flora of Kansas]). 
Prunus subcordata, iv. 31. Extend range to the dry plains north of upper Klamath Lake in southern 
Oregon east of the Cascade Mountains, where I found it in August, 1896, as a stunted shrub only three or four 
feet in height. 
Prunus emarginata, iv. 87. Extend range southward along the western slope of the Sierra Nevada to the 
head of Kern River. (See Coville, Contrib. U. S. Nat. Herb. iv. 90 [ Bot. Death Valley Euped.].) On the 
middle fork of the Kaweah River I found it in September, 1896, growing abundantly in dense thickets from four 
to six fect in height at an elevation of about eight thousand feet above the sea-level; extend range also to the San 
Rafael Mountains in Santa Barbara County, California, where it was found by Dr. F. Franceschi in May, 1894, 
and to the neighborhood of Flagstaff and the San Francisco Peaks in northern Arizona, where it was collected in 
June and July, 1891, by Mr. D. T. McDougal. 
Prunus Caroliniana, iv. 49. In the second paragraph of the description of this tree Mississippi should be 
substituted for Missouri. 
Cercocarpus ledifolius, iv. 63. Extend range to Snow Lake Valley, Klamath County, Oregon, where it 
was collected on June 9, 1896, by Mr. Elmer I. Applegate ; and to the Blue Mountains of Washington, where, on 
July 31, 1896, I found a single tree on the Touchet River at an elevation of about five thousand feet above the 
sea-level.
