time after 1820, by a relation, by marriage, of the famous Du Pont family during 

 a horseback journey from New Orleans to Delaware via Mississippi, Alabama, 

 and Georgia. These trees are now believed to correspond with the description 

 under Aesculus neglecta Lindley. In 1900 W. W. Ashe collected specimens of a 

 buckeye near Saxapohaw, Alamance County, and in 1904 from a tree near 

 Williamsville, Dunham County, N. C, which, together with specimens obtained 

 in 1915 of a buckeye on the Hillsboro road (near Chapel Hill), N. C, are believed 

 to be Aesculus neglecta Lindley (Sargent). These specimens and the Eleutherean 

 Mills trees comprise all that is now known of this species. Further field investi- 

 gations will doubtless extend its natural range.

 loosa Counties); Florida (vicinity of Pensacola, Escambia County).

 Georgia (Stone Mountain, region west of Augusta, and in Rabun, Richmond, 

 DeKalb, and Floyd Counties); northern Alabama (Etowah County).

Aesculus neglecta tomentosa Sargent. 



Range. — South Carolina (Oconee County). 



Note on nomenclature. — Long known in cultivation as Aesculus Michauxh 

 Hort., not of Spach, Aesculus humilis Hort., not of Lindley, Pavia discolor in 

 Herbarium Kew Arboretum, not of Pursh, Pavia rubra in Herbarium Kew 

 Arboretum, Aesculus rubra carnea superba Hort. Ellwanger and Barry, and 

 Aesculus rubra carnea pubescens Hort. Ellwanger and Barry.

X Aesculus dupontii Sargent. Hybrid. 



Range. — Delaware (Eleutherean Mills, in the neighborhood of Wilmington). 



Note on nomenclature. — Supposed to be a hybrid between Aesculus neglecta 

 Lindley and Aesculus pavia Linnaeus. The single tree known is believed to have 

 come from seed gathered with that which produced two trees of Aesculus neglecta 

 Lindley now growing at Eleutherean Mills. 



X Aesculus mutabilis (Spach) Scheel. Hybrid. 



Range. — Massachusetts (cultivated trees in Arnold Arboretum, Jamaica 

 Plain, near Boston). 



Note on nomenclature. — Supposed to be a hybrid between Aesculus discolor 

 mollis Sargent and Aesculus neglecta georgiana Sargent. These plants originally 

 came from a nursery in Germany. 



X Aesculus mutabilis penduliflora Sargent. Hybrid. 



Range. — Known only in cultivation (Arnold Arboretum, Jamaica Plain, 

 Massachusetts; Spaeth nursery, near Berlin, Germany, under the designation 

 Aesculus humilis X lutea). 



Note on nomenclature. — Supposed to be a hybrid between Aesculus dis- 

 lolor mollis Sargent and Aesculus neglecta Lindley.
