88 PEELIMINAEY CATALOGUE OF PLANTS. 



C. microcarpa, Nutt. Small-fruited Hickory. Rare. Closter, Ber- 

 gen Co., C. F. Austin. 



C. tomentosa, Nutt. Mocker-nut. Woods. Common throughout. 



C. porcina, Nutt. Pig-nut. Rather common in most parts of the 

 •State. 



O. amara, Nutt. Low woods. Rather common. 



MYRICACE^E. 



Myrica, L Bayberry. Wax-myrtle. 



M. Gale, L. Sweet Gale. Warren Co., F. Knighton, in Willis 

 Catalogue. 



M. cerifera, L. Bayberry. Light sandy soil. Common throughout 

 the State. 



Comptonia, Solander Sweet-Fern. 



C. asplenifolia, Ait. Sweet Fern. Dry sandy soil. Common through- 

 out the State. 



CUPULIFER^E. 

 Quercus, L Oak. 



Q. alba, L. White Oak. Woods. Common throughout. 



Q. obtusiloba, Michx. Post Oak. Bergen Co., C. F. Austin ; com- 

 mon on the Yellow Drift. 



Q. macrocarpa, Michx. Mossy-cup Oak. Rare. Quaker Bridge, 

 Atlantic Co., I. C. Martindale. 



Q. bicolor, Willd. Swamp White Oak. Low grounds. Frequent 

 in the northern counties. 



Q. Prinus, L. Chestnut Oak. Rather common in all parts of the 

 State, but whether it is the typical form, or one or both varieties is 

 yet to be determined. I have what seems to be Var. acuminata, 

 Michx., from the Palisades, and Mr. Addison Brown has Var. mon- 

 ticola, Michx., from Neversink Highlands. One or other of the 

 varieties is abundant on Little Snake Hill. Botanists will oblige me 

 by making this point a subject of special study during the coming 

 season, and I shall be grateful for specimens from all parts of the 

 State. The acorns are indispensable to a satisfactory determination 

 of the varieties. 



Q. prinoides, Willd. Chinquapin Oak. Sparingly on the Yellow 

 Drift. Ocean Co., C. F. Parker; Bridgeton, Cumberland Co., N. L. 

 Britton. 



Q. Phellos, L. Willow Oak. Frequent on the Yellow Drift and 

 confined to that formation. Keyport, S. Lockwood, N. L. Britton ; 

 Camden and Gloucester Cos., C. F. Parker ; near Long Branch, W. H.
