78 Prunus eiimia Small (= Padus eximia Small) is recognized as distinct (Britton and Sbafer, North Am. 

 Trees, 505, 19GS). It appears to be closely related to Prunus serotina Ehrhart, and attains a height some- 

 times of 60 or 70 feet. Its range is given as southern Texas, where it is said to occur in river valleys. I 

 have not seen this cherry, which needs to be studied in its possible relationship to Prunus serotina Ehrhart 

 •* represented in Texas and northern Mexico.
