JUGLANDACEAE 91 



Dr. Mohr found this associated with the pecan near Demopo- 

 Hs, Gallion and Uniontown, and also on the Alabama River in 

 Dallas County,* but nowhere else in the state. (See Mohr 15 in 

 bibliography.) I have seen a few trees near Gallion and Barachias. 

 All the known stations in Alabama are in the black belt. 



Hicoria cordiformis (Wang.) Britton (H. niinini-a (Marsh.) 

 Britton, Carya ainara, Nutt.) 



A large or medium-sized tree, growing" mostly along rivers. 

 Wood of little use except for fuel. Nuts bitter. 



Reported by Dr. Mohr from Montgomery County and else- 

 where in the central parts of the state, and by Prof. Cocks from 

 Dallas County. 



Hicoria aquatica (Mx. f.) Britton. (Swamp Hickory) 



A tree with leaves much like those of the pecan, bark resem- 

 bling that of an elm, and flatfish thin-shelled inedible nuts. It is 

 hardly abundant enough to be of interest to wood manufacturers. 



Grows in swamps of creeks and rivers, mostly in the coastal 

 plain. Along Cotaco Creek (apparently in region IC) in Morgan 

 County, and along the Warrior-Tombigbee system from Tusca- 

 loosa County to the upper part of the ^Mobile delta. Most frequent 

 in the black belt and lime hills. Not yet noticed in regions 9, 10 E, 

 12 or 13. 



Hicoria ovata (Mill.) Britton. (Carya alba, Nutt.) 



Scaly-bark hickory. 



A large or medium-sized tree, with bark peeling off in long 

 stiff flakes, and perhaps the best nuts of any of our hickories 

 proper. The wood is used for all the purposes previously men- 

 tioned under the genus. The bark and leaves have some medicinal 

 properties, but are not officinal. 



Grows mostly in clayey and calcareous soils. (One or two 

 other species may have been confused with it in the following 

 statement of distribution.) 



lA. Near Hays Mill, Limestone County. 



IB. Frequent in rich woods and on limestone outcrops, making per- 

 haps 390 of the present forest. 



IC. Weeden Mountain, Madison County, and Little Mountain, Law- 

 rence County.
