TREES AND SHRUBS. 



The Galloway nut, which was found several years ago in Hamilton County, Ohio, by S. G. Galloway is probably a h h ' 

 of the same parentage. 1 The leaves, however, resemble those of the Bitternut. The staminate inflow*™,..,. ? " d 



duced from branchlets of the year and of the previous year, and the nuts are sometimes distinctly obovate °"

 2 A tree which is evidently a hybrid and probably of the same parentage may be described as — 

 Carta Brownii, var. varians, n. var. 



Leaves from seven- to nine-foliate, from 3 to 3.5 decimetres long, with slender petioles tomentose early in the season b 

 glabrous ; leaflets oblong-obovate to lanceolate, acute, acuminate or rounded at the apex, coarsely serrate, the tenninal 'acute""'! 

 symmetrical at the base and raised on a petiolule often 1.5 centimetres long, the lateral sometimes slightly falcate round d"t 

 the unsymmetrical base and short-petiolulate ; when they unfold ciliate on the margins, pubescent above and densely tometo 

 below, and at maturity thin, dark green and glabrous on the upper surface, light yellow-green and glabrous on the lower "f ^ 

 with the exception of small axillary tufts of white hairs, from 8 to 14 centimetres long and from 5 to G centimetres wide A* ** 

 of staminate flowers from branchlets of the year and of the previous year, pedunculate, slightly villose, from 1 to 1.2 decnnefcT" 

 long ; bract of the flower acute, about one-third longer than the ciliate calyx-lobes ; anthers four, covered with long whiteha^' 

 Pistillate flowers ^short-pedunculate, the involucre slightly angled, villose, the bract and bractlets acuminate^

 ting freely by winged sutures to below the middle or to the base; nut oblong, rounded at the base, acute and short-pointed at 

 the apex, nearly cylindrical, or slightly compressed, pale brown more or less marked by dark red-brown stripes and blotches about 

 threyentimetres long and from 1.5 to 1.8 centimetres in diameter, with a shell not more than 2 millimetres thick and bitter coty. 



A tall tree, with three large stems covered with thick dark bark, that of the branches smooth and pale, and stout branchlets 

 covered when they first appear with floccose tomentum and in their first winter dark red-brown, puberulous and marked by small 

 pale lenticels. Terminal buds ovate, acute or acuminate, only slightly compressed, their valvate outer scales thickly coated with 

 bright golden scurfy pubescence, the terminal from 7 to 8 millimetres long and about as large as the usually stalked unoer bud 

 of the two or three superposed axillary buds. J PP ^ 



A single large tree known locally as the Bitter Pecan growing in alluvial soil on the moist banks of Lee's Creek, near the pump 

 of Arkansa's ™ te ™rks, valley of the Arkansas River, near Van Buren, Crawford County, in the extreme western pari
