4 Kentucky Agricultural Experiment .itatiun. 



The list contains the names of both cultivated and wild 

 plants, so that it is sometimes impossible to say whether or not a 

 plant recorded was actually observed growing wild about Louisville. 

 Excluding those evidently introduced, such as the peach, pear and 

 apple, the author appears to have observed 124 woody plants; tho 

 when one finds in the list such species as Azalea nudiflor-: 

 viscosa, Castanea pumila, Calycanthus floridus, Kalmia angustifolia 

 and K. latifulia, he is led to wonder as to the extent of the area con- 

 sidered by the author as in the "vicinity of the town," for these 

 species are now pretty closely restricted to the mountains east and 

 southeast of Lexington. The following Kentucky trees and shrubs 

 are recorded in his list: 



Amorpha fruticosa, sugar maple, red maple, soft maple 

 (Acer Pennsylvania, according to M.), box elder, Aralia
