Fraxinus anomala Torrey. 62 Single-leaf Ash.

 nison River at Grand Junction) through southern Utah to southern Nevada

•» Fraxinus pauciflora Nuttall (Silva, III, 61, t. 100, 1849), usually treated as a synonym of Fraxinus 

 caroliniana Miller, was revived by J. K. Small (Flor. S. E. U. S., 918, 1903) as applying to a water ash said 

 to occur from southern Georgia to Florida and Louisiana. Britton and Shafer (North Am. Trees, 800, 

 1908) who have also adopted this view, believe that Fraxinus Floridana Sargent is the same tree redescribed 

 under a new name. 



•> Fraxinus anomala triphylla Jones (Proc. Cal. Acad. Sci., Sec. Ser., V, Pt. I, 707, 1895), found at " Pa- 

 gumpa in the Grand Wash, 4,000 feet altitude," Arizona, is doubtless based on a rare trifoliate individual, 

 which probably should be considered a phase of this variable species, which bears leaves with from one 

 to sometimes five leaflets. The possible relationship of this form to the next species would seem to require 

 further study.
