C. microcarpa, Nutt. Gray, Man., 448, 1868. 



A few trees on the bank of the Nation River at Casselman, thirty 

 miles south east of Ottawa, also at Deschenes Rapids on the Ottawa. 

 (Fletcher.) The above record is the only notice of this tree, outside 

 of the valley of the St. Lawrence Eiver, except a few trees in rear 

 of Montreal Mountain, until Kingston is passed. It is abundant on 

 both sides of the Bay of Quinte and ascends the Salmon, Moira and 

 Trent Rivers, the latter to four miles above Campbellford. "Westward 

 from the Trent it is found more inland, but always on river banks until 

 the meridian of Toronto, is reached, when it is found mixed with other 

 trees in the forest. On the Niagara peninsula, especially atQueenston 

 Heights and the Falls, it constitutes the greater part of the forest, and 

 along Lake Erie with other hickories, attains its largest size often 

 rising with a straight stem to 80 feet and generally overtopping the 

 other trees. Along Lake St. Clair it is still abundant and probably 

 reaches G-oderich on Lake Huron. 



(1965.) C. tomentosa, Nutt. White Heart Hickory. 

 Juglans tomentosa, Michx. Fl. II., 192. 



Rather sparingly distributed amongst the other hickories in the 

 Niagara peninsula from Lake Ontario to Lake Erie, and extending 

 westward to Windsor and an indefinite distance beyond. 



(1966.) C. porcina, Nutt. Pig-nut or Broom Hickory. 



C. glabra, Torr. Gray, Man., 403, 1858. 



Juglans porcina, Michx. N. American Sylva. II., 194, 1819. 



J. porcina, var. obcordata, Pursh, Fl. I., 638. 



J. porcina, var. pisiformis, Pursh, Fl. L, 638. 



Not uncommon on the Niagara peninsula, where large trees are quite 

 frequent in the low woods extending out from the base of Queenston 

 Heights ; also abundant in Wesley Park, Niagara Falls, and at many 

 points along Lake Erie to Amherstburgh and north to Windsor and 

 Sarnia.
