 and to which he thinks the specific name of ambigua might be given ; as he is

 Garden, and in the collection at Messrs. Loddiges's, and at White Knights, 

 there are plants marked Carya sulcata, or ./uglans laciniosa, which are dis- 

 tinguishable from all the other species of C'arya, by their very large leaf- 

 lets, which, in autumn, die off sooner than those of any of the other sorts. 

 Nuts of this species are, in London, 1«. (kl. a quart.
