jigs. 15, 16. pl. 20; Sargent, l.c. 196). 
A tree evidently of the same parentage has been described as 
CaryA BROWNII var. VARIANS Sargent, Trees and Shrubs 2:1096. 
1913.—This tree grows on the banks of Sears Creek near the Pump 
House of the Van Buren Water Works, Crawford County, Arkansas. 
A tree with similar fruit has been found near Natchez, Adams 
County, Mississippi, by Miss C. C. Compton. 
Three evident hybrids between species of A pocarya and Eucarya 
are known. 
Carya LANeEyI Sargent, Trees and Shrubs 2:196. 1913.—This 
appears to be a hybrid of C. cordiformis and C. ovata. The original 
tree is in the Riverside Cemetery at Rochester, New York. In the 
Arboretum Collection there are nuts of a tree growing at Millers- 
ville, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, which is known as the 
Beaver hybrid and appears to be of the same parentage. Trees of 
the same parentage but with the leaves of C. cordiformis and with 
larger fruits with thicker involucres than those of that species and 
nuts resembling those of C. ovata have been distinguished as 
CARYA LANEYI var. CHATEAUGAYENSIS Sargent, /.c. 1913.— 
First discovered at Chateaugay near the mouth of the Chateaugay 
River in the Province of Quebec by Professor J. G. JACK, this tree 
was later found by him at Summertown, Ontario. 
Carya Schneckii, n. hyb. (C. albaXpecan).—Leaves 7-9- 
foliolate, glabrous; leaflets thin, acuminate at apex, cuneate and 
unsymmetrical at base, falcate, short-petiolulate. Fruit oblong, 
acute at apex, rounded at base, pubescent, 5.5 cm. long, with an 
involucre splitting to the base and 6-7 mm. in thickness; nut — 
oblong, gradually narrowed and rounded at base, acuminate at 
apex, slightly compressed, angled to the middle or to the base, 
reddish and conspicuously streaked with brown, 4-4.5 cm. long 
and about 2 cm. wide, with a shell 1-2 mm. in thickness and a 
sweet kernel. 
A large tree with bark resembling that of the pecan, stout reddish brown 
puberulous branchlets, and winter-buds with imbricated scales, the outer dark 
red-brown and puberulous, the inner thickly covered with hoary tomentum; 
axillary buds solitary with usually valvate scales.
