1 Knowledge of the range of Sapindus marginatus, which is 
probably everywhere a rare tree, is still unsatisfactory. It is not 
now known to grow north of the mouth of the St. John’s River in 
Florida, although it was once believed to inhabit the coast of South 
Carolina and Georgia, where the elder Michaux is said to have 
discovered this tree.
