LIQUIDAMBAR L.

 —Willis 28.— Britten 105. 



Common in woods throughout our region, except in the Pine 

 Barrens and in those parts of the coastal plain which extend 

 north of our limits. Also at L,ake Hopatcong, Morris Co., and 

 for a short distance up the Delaware and Hudson Rivers in 

 Hunterdon and Bergen Counties. 



The Sweet Gum and Willow Oak are probably the best trees 

 by which to trace the line separating the Pine Barrens from the 

 Middle district, while to the westward their range stops short at 

 the fall line along the Delaware. 



On the coast I have found both species occupying little dry 

 ground islets in the salt marshes, a mile from the mainland, while 

 all along the Coast strip proper the Sweet Gum occurs, even 

 running up the Egg Harbor River to Mays Landing along with 

 other coastal species. 



Pi. — Late April to late May apparently, when the leaves are 

 partly expanded. Fr. — Early autumn, persistent in part through 

 the winter.
