Red Buckeye (Aeseuhu pat-ia) . — Seen by me only in Western 

 Kentucky — about Columbus. A handsome, compact shrub, with red 

 blossoms. I have had it reported from other localities, but do not 

 feel satisfied that it grows spontaneously away from the Mississippi 

 River. Correspondents will confer a favor by sending me specimens 

 from other localities than that mentioned.
