APPEITDIX. 



A.— NUMBER OF 8PECIES OF NATIVE TREES ASCERTAINED TO OCCUR 

 INDIGENOUSLY IN THE LOWER WABASH VALLEY. 



The total number of species g'iven in my catalogue is 94; but from 

 this number the following are to be deducted, as being more properly 

 classed as shrubs than trees : 



1. Rhus gJahra. Smooth Sumac. ! 3. Viburnum dentatum. Arrow-wood. 



2. Amorpha fruticosa. FaLse Indigo. 4. Salixhicida. Shining Willow 



The number would thus seem to be reduced to 90; but the additions 

 far outnumber the reductions, the following having been omitted from 

 my list: 



*1. PteJeu irifolinia, T^ i n n ;i' n s. Hop Tree. 



*2. Euonymus alro2)ur2)urcus, J iic i[uin. Burning Bush; Wahoo. 



3. lihanvnis CaroHniana, Waltur. Carolina Buckthorn. 



4. ^Esculus oclandra, Marshall. Sweet Buckeye. 



5. Rhus Fernix, L 1 n n a; u s. Poison Sumac; Poison Dogwood; Poison Elder. 

 *6. Crataegus spalhulata, Mich an x. Small-fruited Haw. 



*7. Hamamclis Firginica, hi ni\ tens. Witch Hazel. 



8. Nyssa aquaUca, M a r s h al 1 . Tupelo. 



9. f'accinium arborcum, Marsh a 1 1 . P\arkle-berry. 



10. Bumelia lanuginosa, F er so oil . Gum Elastic; Shittim wood. 



11. Bumclia hjcioides, Ga^rtner. Southern Buckthorn. 



12. Mohi'odendron fefraptera (hiun-.vns) Hritton. Silver-bell Tree; Snow- 



drop Tree; Calico-wood. 

 *13. Foresiiera acuminata, Poiret. Water Privet. 



14. Planera aquatica, G m e 1 i n . Water Elm. 



15. Hicoria aquatica (Mi ch a ux. f. ) Brittou. Water Hickory. 



16. Casfanea pumila (Linniens) Miller. Chin<iuapin. 

 *17. SaJix longifolia, Muhlenberg. Sandbar Willow. 



Of the above, those marked with an asterisk have been identified in 

 the immediate vicinity of Mount Carmel, the others being mainly more 

 southern, or occurring only farther down the river. No. (5, CraUvfjus 

 spatJndafa, is not included in Dr. Schneck's list and has not been met 

 with by him or myself during recent years. Specimens in fruit were 

 found by us, however, near Mauck's Pond, Gibson County, Ind., in 

 September, 1871.* There is some doubt as to I^o. 16, Castanet pumila, 

 which is given on Prof. Sargent's authority; but there is a possibility 

 of an error having been made from the circumstance that the name 

 "chinquapin" is in that region almost universally applied to the fruit 

 of Quercus Muhlenbergii.
