The mere extension of the kno\vn range of this tree northward 

 about a mile would hardly be worth mentioning, but for the fact 

 that the species has been written about so much, and the new 

 locality being in a different state will necessitate a modification 

 of the statements about it in books about North American trees, 

 Georgia plants, etc. The present indications are that it does 

 not extend into Georgia more than a mile. A few specimens 

 were collected and afterwards distributed to the leading Ameri- 

 can herbaria, for the benefit of persons who may attach more 

 importance to the possibility of identifying the species (even 

 such an unmistakable one as this) wrongh- than to that of making 

 a false or erroneous or inadequate statement on the label about 

 the locality. (In other words, there are probably some tax- 

 onomists who if no specimens existed to back it would not take 

 cognizance of this report of a new locality, but seeing a specimen 

 labeled Georgia in large type would not worry about the possi- 

 bility of a slight error in latitude.)
