508 BOTANICAL GAZETTE [DECEMBER 
or nearly sessile, 7 mm.—2.5 cm. in width, thickly covered when it 
first appears with hoary tomentum, and at maturity tomentose on 
the upper and pubescent on the lower surface; sepals acuminate, 
densely pubescent on the outer surface, villose near the margins 
on the inner surface, about as long as the lanceolate acuminate 
petals; staminodia oblong-obovate, rounded at apex, about as 
long as the sepals; style slightly villose at base. Fruit ellipsoidal, 
covered with rusty brown tomentum, 7-8 mm. long and 5-6 mm. 
in diameter. 
A tree 20 m. high with slender red-brown or orange-brown branchlets 
glabrous or sometimes covered early in their first season with fascicled hairs. 
Winter-buds terete, glabrous or when first formed sparingly villose, 2-3 mm. 
in length. Flowers at the end of June and at River Junction later than the 
other species with which it is associated. Fruit ripens the middle of September.

I once believed that these trees could be specifically separated from 7. 
heterophylla, but their close connection with that species is shown by a tree of 
T. heterophylla var. Michauxii which was growing near Tiptop, Tazewell 
County, Virginia, in May 1914 (T. G. Harbison, no. 1616). ‘The upper surface 
of the leaves of this tree were then covered with fascicled hairs and the branch- 
lets were glabrous. When I visited Tiptop in September of the same year 
this tree had been cut down, but had produced shoots from the stump which 
were thickly covered with fascicled hairs and bore large leaves densely pubes- 
cent on the upper surface.
