ence leaves base truncate, roughish above, 



556. CELTIS SALICIFOLIA Raf. Tree, branch- 

 lets terete pilose with white dots, leaves oblong 

 elongate narrow subacuminate sharply serrate, 

 base obliqual acute trinervate, potiols and nerves 

 pubescent in Arkanzas and Louisiana, a small 

 tree 20 feet high, leaves 2 to 4,inches long simi- 

 lar to some Willows but quite obliqual, very 

 different from all the narrow leaved kinds, 

 nearer to C. occidentalis, but very different 

 leaves. Is it a deviation of C. fuscata ? chief 

 difference in terete pilose branches, nerves pu- 

 bescent 4c. 



557. CELTIS LEVIGATA W. Loud. Leaves 

 unequaly cordate obliqual acuminate nearly en- 

 tire, smooth on both sides in Louisiana, small 

 tre->20 feet high. I have not seen it, it was 

 described in Wildenow Enumeration, I copy 

 the notice from Loudun Cyclop, of plants. It 

 appears different from all the cordate leaved 

 kinds by the smooth leaves, and from my mori- 

 folia and patula by obliqual acuminate leaves. 



558. CELTIS MORIFOLIA Raf. C. cordata of 

 some botanists ? Tree, branchlets redish hir- 

 sute angular or striate, leaves ovate oblong ser- 

 rate acute or acuminate, base subcordate or 

 truncate, slightly obliqual, scabrose above, be- 

 neath smooth pate reticulate,nerves yellow hir- 

 sute, petiols pubescent, pedicels longer than pe- 

 tiols this is one of the 3sp. blended and call- 

 ed Hackberry in the Western States. This is 

 a tree 20 to 40 feet high, the branches have 

 neither warts nor dots. Leaves 3 to 5 inches 

 long, 1 or 2 wide, becoming quite smooth be- 

 neath when old, but always rough above hardly 

 trinervate, but nerves regular and reticulate.
