RED GUM. 



There is but one red gum (Liquidambar styraciflua) in the United 

 States. What is commercially known as "sap gum" is the sapwood 

 of this tree. Its range is in the south, principally in the States of the 

 lower Mississippi Valley; but on the Atlantic coast it grows northward 

 to Connecticut, and in the Mississippi Valley to Missouri and Illinois. 

 Its southwestern limit is in Texas and its southeastern in Florida.
