26 FOREST TREES OF NORTH AMERICA. 



FRANKLINIA. 



Near Fort Barrington, on the Altamaha river, Georgia (J. & W. Bartram, Dr. Moses Marshall). 



Careful explorations of Bartram's original locality by later botanists, especially by Mr. H. W. Eavenel, have 

 failed to rediscover this species, which is, however, still preserved in cultivation through the original plants 

 introduced by the Bartrams. "Florida" given as a locality by Torrey & Gray, I. c., on the authority of Herb. 

 Schweinitz, and followed by Chapman, I. c., is probably an error (Eavenel in Am. Naturalist, xvi, 235).

California, valley of Pitt river, southward along the western foot-hills of the Sierra Nevada, and in the Santa

 much branched shrub; dry, gravelly soil. 



Wood heavy, hard, very close-grained, compact, satiny, containing many groups of small ducts parallel to the 

 thin, conspicuous medullary rays, layers of annual growth obscure; color, dark brown tinged with red, the thick 

 sap-wood lighter ; specific gravity, 0.7142 ; ash, 1.69. 



The mucilaginous inner bark used locally in poultices.
