stands. It is intolerant of shade, and is not able to withstand 

 the competition of such forms as the introduced guava, lantana, 

 etc. It is not distinctively a tree of dry and barren soil, as are so 

 many mainland species of Rhus. Typical stations are: Kauait 

 Makaweli, Waimea; Oahu, Nuuanu, Heeia, Kahuku, Kaena; 

 Maui, Kaupo, Hana, Haiku; Hawaii, Hilo, Kau, North Kona. 

 It has suffered greatly from the ravages of cattle, goats, sheep, 

 and such foreign pests as Hilo grass and guava.

CHARLES KEENE DODGE 



By Kenneth K. Mackenzie 



Charles Keene Dodge, whose death took place on March 22, 

 1918, was one who took the keenest delight in the study of 

 systematic botany and in the life of observation which goes with

His education was received in the country and city schools of 

 Michigan. In 1865-1866, he attended the Union School at 

 Ann Arbor. After graduating, he entered the University of 

 Michigan in the fall of 1866, where he pursued a classical course. 

 His graduation took place in 1870. 



After graduating, Mr. Dodge taught school in Rockland, 

 Mich., for two years and also at Hancock, Mich., for two years. 

 During this time he took up the study of the law and in 1875 he 

 was admitted to the bar at Port Huron, Mich. 



Mr. Dodge continued to reside in Port Huron, Mich., from 

 1875 until his death, with the exception, as before stated, of
