branchlets. The terminal winter-buds are acute, 1.8 cm. long, the 
outer scales pale pubescent, the inner hoary tomentose. In the 
number of leaflets the leaves of this tree resemble those of C. lact- 
niosa, but in the shape of the leaflets they resemble those of C. ovata 
var. fraxinifolia. In shape the fruit resembles a small fruit of C. 
laciniosa, but the involucre is thinner than that of C. ovata or 
C. laciniosa. The nut is more like that of C. laciniosa; the bark 
and color of the branchlets are unlike those of either of the supposed 
parents. The winter- buds are more like those of C. laciniosa than . 
of C. ovata. 
No. 61 Golah, J. Dunbar, September 29, 1911, has the leaves 
of C. laciniosa, short-oblong fruit 4 cm. long, depressed at the apex 
like that of C. ovata, with an involucre 6 mm. in thickness. The 
branchlets are red and glabrous and unlike those of either parent. 
Except in the branchlets this number resembles a small-fruited 
C. laciniosa. 
No. 66 Golah, J. Dunbar, September 19, 1911, has the leaves 
of C. laciniosa, oblong slightly obovoid pubescent fruit only 3 cm. 
long, with an involucre 4 cm. in thickness, and a compressed 
slightly angled reddish nut. The branchlets are reddish, pubescent, 
and about as thick as those of the common form of C. ovata. The 
buds are acute and 7-8 mm. long, with puberulous outer scales. 
No. 73 Golah, J. Dunbar, September 19, 1911, has the leaves 
of C. laciniosa, fruit similar to that of no. 66 and slender, densely 
pubescent brown branchlets resembling those of a pubescent form 
of C. ovata. 
No. 207 Golah, J. Dunbar, September 19, 1911, has the leaves 
of no. 68, fruit like no. 61, stout glabrous red branchlets and ter- 
minal buds 1.5 cm. long, the outer scales covered with pale pubes- 
cence. 
No. 208 Golah, J. Dunbar, September 19, 1911, has leaves 
resembling in shape those of C. ovata, fruit like that of no. 73 and 
3 cm. long; branchlets somewhat stouter and less pubescent than 
those of no. 73, and the winter-buds of C. ovata. . 
No. 250 Golah, J. Dunbar, August 31, 1915, has the leaves of 
C. laciniosa, obovoid pubescent fruit 3-3.5 cm. long, with an 
involucre 5 mm. in thickness, and a slightly compressed angled
