An evergreen oak with narrow, 

 smooth-bordered leaves which are 

 turned under on the edge and pale- 

 woolly beneath and glossy above; 

 small, pointed acorns with long 

 stalks. 



Leaves smooth, broadly heart-shaped 

 with finely toothed edge; fruit a 

 cluster of little woody balls sus- 

 pended from the middle of a long 

 narrow leaf-like bract. 



Similar to basswood except that the 

 leaves are whitish (or minutelv 

 woolly) beneath. 



Leaves finely toothed, long pointed; 

 fruit a long-stalked, single-seeded 

 berry with very thin, sweetish 

 flesh. 



Leaves sharply toothed; fruit flat, 

 papery, about J4 inch long, 

 fringed around with tiny hairs. 



Long leaves, very rough on the upper 

 side; inner bark is slippery when 

 chewed, and the flat fruits have a 

 smooth edge. 



Differing from other elms in having 

 fruit minutely hairy all over, 

 and twigs with conspicuous, corky 

 ridges. 

 Evergreen tree, the leaves having 

 spiny teeth, and fruit a bright 

 red berry, remaining attached 

 through the winter. 



Leaves with saw-tooth edge; fruit a 

 light brown spine-covered bur con- 

 taining a 3-cornered brown nut. 



Long narrow leaves with sharp, for- 

 ward-pointing teeth; fruit a spher- 

 ical, spiny bur containing several 

 brown nuts. Trees mostly killed 

 by blight disease. 



Leaves smaller than chestnut and 

 finely woolly beneath; but one 

 nut in the spiny husk. Mostly 

 known as a shrub, but reaches 

 tree size. 



Leaves slender, long-pointed, and 

 finely toothed. The largest of our 

 eastern willows, difficult to dis- 

 tinguish from other willows. 



Large leaves, very broad at base, 

 toothed, whitish beneath, with 

 round leafstalk. 



Leaves triangular 

 toothed, smooth, 

 leafstalk. 



Heart-shaped leaves with roundleaf- 

 stalk, minutely woolly on under- 

 side when young; smooth later. 



long-pointed, 

 with flattened
