126 Leaflbts. 



sparsely hispiduloiis, not in the least sulcate or stri butate deeply, 

 irregularly and sharply somewhat farose- wrinkled. 



Lake City, Florida, 25 June, 1901, Lucia McCulloch in U. S. 

 Herb. Species in foliage not unlike that of the common 71 

 pubescens, but by inflorescence and fruits most distinct. 



T. Blodgettii. Jihus Blodgettii, Kearney, Bull. Torr. Club, 

 xxi. 486. 



T. COMPACTUM. Shrub apparently low and erect ; branches 

 when young villous-tomentulose, as also the stout rigid ascend- 

 ing petioles of the leaves: leaflets Tery large, the terminal 3 J 

 inches long, 2} to 3 inches broad, of slightly obovate outline 

 but very strongly 3 to 5 lobed, the lobes shallow but broad and 

 obtuse, the pair smaller but similar, all of firm texture, deep 

 green, sparsely pubescent above with short curved hairs, beneath 

 similarly so, with also a denser hirsute hairiness on the primary 

 veins : panicles short and very dense in fruit, numerous and 

 closely approximate, the whole fruiting branch concealed by the 

 crowded fruit-clusters : fruit large, narrowly and deeply sulcate, 

 quite spherical, densely hirtellous, not polished. 



Species of good characters and remarkable aspect, seen in but 

 one sheet in U. S. Herb., from Woodlawn, Va., by William 

 Hunter, Aug., 1899. The leaflets as to form, texture and color 

 recall strongly those of some oaks of the black oak series ; 

 though the lobes are all obtuse. 



T. MOKTICOLA. Low, erect, not rooting above ground, rather 

 slender, the mere stem only 8 or 10 inches high, but the large 

 foliage, including the greatly elongated petioles, adding 6 to 8 

 inches more to the height of the plant, the stem sharply angled, 

 scantily puberulent, not lenticellate : leaflets of ovate or oval 

 rather than obovate outline, all sinuately and deeply 5-lobed, 

 the lobes very obtuse, the terminal leaflet %\ to 3i inches long, 

 the others smaller, all of firm texture, bright green, minutely 

 reticulate, faintly marked above with scattered short curved 

 hairs, beneath more densely so, even the stronger pubescence of 

 the veins short and curved rather than hirtellous: fruits in 

 small sessile glomerules rather than panicles, each rather large, 

 round but subpyriform, sulcate-striate, dotted with a muriculate 

 tuberculation, but hardly pubescent.
