TREES, SHRUBS AND VINES OP MISSOURI. 365 



Butler, Cape Girardeau, Dunklin, Madison, Mlsslsaippi, Scott, Stoddard and War- 

 ren counties. This is Fagus ferruginea Ait. 



53. Oastanea dentata ( Marsh.) Sargent. 



Chestnut. Said by Swallow to grow in New Madrid county, and by Blankin- 

 ship in Greene county, but probably the next species was what was found. This 

 Is Gastanea sativa Americana Wats, and Coult. 



54. Oastanea pumila Mill. 



Chinquapin. A large tree occurring in the mountaineous regions of the south 

 part of the State, where it has been found in Barry, Cedar, Jasper, McDonald and 

 Newton counties. Fruit similar to that of the Chestnut, and often mistaken for it. 



65. Qaercus alba L. 



White-oak. One Of our most valuable, as well as the best known of our oaks. 

 Reaohiag Its greatest development in the southeastern part of the State, where 

 there are veritable giants in girth and height. Occurs throughout the State gen- 

 erally, but principally south of the Missouri river. It is found in Adair, Andrew, 

 Bollinger, Butler, Cape Girardeau, Carter, Cedar, Clark, Clay, Cole, Uunklin^ 

 Greene, Howard, Howell, Jackson, Jefferson, Lawrence, Livingston, Madison,. 

 McDonald, Mississippi, Newton, Oregon, Platte, Scotland, Shannon, St. Francois^ 

 St. Louis, Stoddard, Sullivan, Texas, Vernon, Washington, Wayne, Webster and

56. Quercus albaXmacrocarpa Eagelm. 



A hybrid between the white-oak and bur-oak, of which one tree has been 

 found in Jackson county. 



67. Quercus albaXMuhlenbergii B. F. Bush. 



A hybrid between the white-oak and the chinquapin-oak, of which one tree 

 has been found in Jackson county, 



58. Quercus aquatica { Lam.) Walt. 



Water-oak. A species Of the lowlands of the southeastern part of the State. 

 A large, valuable tree, bearing a close resemblance to the shingle-oak; is found 

 in Butler and Dunklin counties, and has been reported from Greene county, but 

 this must be a mistake in determination. 



69. Quercus coccinea Wang. 



Scarlet-oak What I take to be this species has been found in Jackson and 

 Shannon counties. There seems to be some doubt about its occurrence in our 

 borders, although Sargent cites specimens as coming from the northeastern part 

 of the State. It has also been reported from St. Louis, but that may have been the 

 Texas red-oak, which is common there, and is commonly mistaken for this species. 



60. Querous digitata (Marsh.) Sudw. 



Spanish oak. A large tree of the lowlands of the southeastern part of tbe 

 State, of little economic importance. Grows in Butler, Dunklin, New Madrid, 

 Ripley and Wayne counties. Has been reported from Adair and Livingston 

 counties by Broadhead, but it is not likely this lowland species should be found 

 so far north. Also reported from St. Louis county, but this, too, is doubtful, as. 

 the suitable habitat for it is not there. This is Quercus falcata Michx.
