tmiflore longer than petiols, fruits round oboval 
brown — a shrub 3 to 5 feet high, erect with 
spreading branches, found by myself in the hills 
of Maryland, blossoming in May, said to grow 
also in the Mts. of Virginia and in Louisiana, 
easily known by the few small teeth, leaves 1 
or 2 inches long rather thin. 
564. Celtis heterophyla Raf. shrubby, 
brancblets smooth terete rugose, leaves multi- 
form, ovate or cordate, oblong or lanceolate, 
base hardly obliqual rounded or cordate, end 
acute or acuminate, margin entire or with a 
few teeth, but all smooth thin with nerves reti- 
culate beneath, pedicels axillary uniflore longer 
than petiols, young fruits ovate — sent me from 
Alabama, a very singula/ species offering all 
kinds of leaves on the same small branches (1 or 
2 inches long) yet unlike any of the other shrub- 
by kinds. Is it the C. pumila found by short 
and Riddell in Kentucky ? 
565. Celtis fatula Raf. shrubby diffuse, 
branches divaricate, branchlets angular smooth 
leaves uniform cordate acute, entire or serru- 
late in the middle, rough above, beneath smooth 
reticulate, base not obliqual, petiols and pedi- 
cels very short — from Florida, humble shrub, 
branches quite divergent, sometimes reflexed, 
leaves over one inch long and broad, pale above 
as in C. alba. Near to C. reticulata , which 
differs chiefly by leaves pubescent obliqual 
obtuse. 
566. Celtis floridana Raf. shrubby, branch- 
lets angular pubescent above, petiols pubescent 
very short, leaves broad ovate obliqual acute 
serrulate in the middle above rough rugose, be- 
neath reticulate by grey pubescent nerves, pedi- 
cels short but longer than petiols, fruit depres-
