En, agings: Bot Mag,, t. 325.; Bot, Cab., 474. ; the plate in Arb. Brit., Ist edit. vol. v.: and our 
Spec. Char., &c. Deciduous. Leaves broadly ovate, subcordate, acute, 
under surface tomentose, upper surface smooth. Petals 6—9, oblong. 
(Don's Mill.) A deciduous tree of the middle size. Carolina to Georgia, 
on mountains. Height 20 ft. to 40 ft. and 50 ft. in America, and 20 ft. to 
30 ft. in England. Introduced in 1800. Flowers yellow slightly streaked 
with red, with a disagreeable odour, seldom expanding fully; June and 
July. Strobile like that of .M. acuminata, but smaller; ripe in October. 
Decaying leaves dark brown or black. Naked young wood hoary brown. 
40. Magndliz cordata. 
This tree, in its native country, has a trunk 12 or 15 inches in diameter, 
straight, and covered with a rough and deeply furrowed bark. Its leaves 
are from 4/in. to 6in. in length, and from 3 in. to 5 in. wide, smooth and 
entire. The flowers are from 3in. to 4in. in diameter, and are succeeded by 
fruit about 3in. long, and nearly 1in. in thickness, of a similar form to those 
of the preceding species. The soil, situation, propagation, &c., may be con- 
sidered the same as for M.‘acuminata ; but, as M. (a.) cordata seems, in its 
native country, to inhabit higher and drier localities than M. acuminata, it 
may probably be placed in still more exposed situations than that species in 
Britain.
