HAMAMELIS L. 

 H. VIRGINIANA L. Witch-hazel. 



Common in damp woods throughout the State. 



LIQUIDAMBAR L. 

 L. STYRACIFLUA L. Sweet-gum. Alligator-wood. 



Rich woods. The distribution of this species in the State 

 according to my notes of travel is, from east to west, as 

 follows : Beginning near the source of Peter Creek, in Nich- 

 olas county, it follows that stream to its junction with the 

 Gauley River, down this to its confluence with the New 

 River to form the Great Kanawha, which latter it follows 

 to the mouth of Elk River, whence it bears northward up 

 Eight Mile Creek to the Pocotaligo and its Middle Fork, 

 across to Mill Creek in Jackson, which it follows to the Ohio. 



It is also noted in Gilmer : near Glenville (Mapel). Fay- 

 ette : near Kanawha Falls (James) ; near Nuttallburg (Nutt- 

 all). Cabell : near Huntington (Selby). I have also met 

 with it in Summers : near Hinton ; and along the Greenbrier 

 River in that countv.
