40 C. S. Sargent (Trees and Shrubs, II, Pt. Ill, 137, 1911) has segregated from this species Hamamelis ver- 

 nalis Sargent, which is now known only as a shrub (5 to 6 feet high) occurring in southern Missouri, Arkan- 

 sas, and Oklahoma. It differs from Hamamelis virginiana Linnaeus in the bright red color of the inside of the 

 calyx, pale under surface of the leaves, density and permanence of the pubescence on the leaves and twigs, in 

 the time of flowering (end of January to the end of March), and in its habit of growing only in the gravelly 

 beds and borders of streams, the Witch-hazel usually occurring in upland woods and old fields.
