spicAtum 



Very ornamental in autumn, from its small keys, which are fixed upon 

 slender pendulous spikes, and have their membranous wings beautifully tinged 

 with red when ripe. Michaux states that this species, grafted upon the syca- 

 more, is, like the /Peer striatum, augmented to twice its natural dimensions ; 

 a fact which we have never had an opportunity of seeing verified.
