*• The several trees found at this station by B. F. Bush and C. S. Sargent in 1901, and by Mr. Bush in 

 1902, probably have since been destroyed, as they can not be located now. C. S. Sargent states (Trees 

 and Shrubs, II, 268, 1913) that possibly the tree raised from seed of these wild trees and now growing in 

 the Arnold Arboretum, Jamaica Plain, Mass., is the only representative in existence. Believed to be a 

 hybrid between Aesculus discolor mollis (Rafinesque) Sargent and Aesculus glabra leucodermis Sargent 



3° Proof of its occurrence in Alabama is a specimen collected in 1854 in Lawrence County and preserved 

 In the Gray Herbarium (fide C. S. Sargent).
