55G. Celtis sALiciioLiA 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 *2() 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 1 chief 

 difference in terete pilose branches, nerves pu- 

 bescent ^'C. 



557. Celtis levigata W. Loud. Leaves 

 unequaly cordate obliqual acuminate nearly en- 

 tire, smooth on both sides — in Louisiana, small 

 tred^^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 morU 

 folia and patiila 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 pale reticulate,nerves yellow hir- 

 sute, petiols pubescent, pedicels longer than pe- 

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

 ed Hackberry in the Western States. This is 

 a tree 20 to 40 feet high, the branches have 

 Ji^ither 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 

 triner^^ate, but nerves regular and reticulate.
