From other hickories this variety differs in the bright red color of the young 
foliage, which in early spring makes it one of the most distinct and beautiful 
trees in the forests in the neighborhood of Lake Charles, where it is common. 
It may be expected to occur generally in the region between Lake Charles and 
the valley of the lower Nueces River, Texas. 
11. Carya pallida, nov. comb.—WHicoria pallida Ashe, Notes on 
hickories. 1896.—This tree is Closely related to Carya ovalis Sargent, 
but may be distinguished from all the forms of that species by the 
pale under surface of the leaflets, by the silvery scales on the young 
foliage, and by the prominent and persistent clusters of fascicled 
hairs on the petiole, rachis, and under side of the midrib. The 
leaves are 7-, rarely 9-foliate, and vary from 1.5 to 6 cm. in width. 
The fruit is pubescent and varies from ellipsoidal to obovoid or to 
broad-obovoid and to subglobose or depressed globose, and from 
2 to 4 cm. in length, and is not easily distinguishable from that of 
some forms of C. ovalis. ‘The involucre varies from 3 to 4 mm. in 
thickness and splits tardily to the base, usually by 2 or 3 of the 
sutures. The nut is white, rounded at the ends or occasionally 
slightly obcordate or obtusely pointed at apex, compressed and 
more or less prominently ridged nearly to the base. On a tree 
growing on the grounds of the Country Club at Summerville, near 
Augusta, Georgia, the fruits are pyriform, 5 cm. long, and con- 
tracted below into a stipelike base with an involucre 5 mm.
