G. AQUAtica Marsh. Water or Swamp Locust. 



Found only in the cypress swamps in the southwestern coun- 

 ties of the State, and not abundant there. A small tree of no 

 economic value. 



Flowers in June and July. 



Gibson and Posey (Schneck); Knox (Ridgway). 



GYMNOCLADUS Lam. 



G. dioica (L.) Koch. Coffee nut, Kentucky Coffee Tree. 

 ( G . Canadensis Lam . ) 



Usually found in rich woods and bottoms. It is somewhat 

 sparsely distributed in the northern counties of its range, becom- 

 ing more common southward and attaining its greatest numbers 

 in the rich bottom lands of the Ohio River. 



Not used locally except for posts and rails, for which its dura- 

 bility in contact with the ground specially fits it. Its liability 

 to check in drying prevents its general use in manufacture, 

 although it is sometimes used in cabinet making. It is a large 

 tree, ranging from 80 to 100 feet high, with a diameter of from 

 eighteen inches to three feet. 



Flowering season, May and June. A more interesting object 

 when in fruit.
