 about 2 mm. [A common shrub throughout the sandhill 

 country, and at the time of my visit (January) a mass of 

 white sweet-smelling blossoms. Grows to the height of 12 

 or 14 feet. I have met with this species in many parts of the 

 interior.] G. pterosperma, F. v. M. Sixty miles along East-
