very variable in size, sometimes not above four feet, 
at others nearly twenty feet high. The younger Mi- 
chaux considers Q. nana of Wilidenow to be only a 
variety of the present species 3 which I very much 
doubt.

In South Carolina and Georgia, b . May. v. v. The 
Laurel Oak , oras it is sometimes called Swamp Willow 
Oak , is about fifty or sixty feet high : its wood, ac- 
cording to the elder Michaux, is very valuable, and 
almost preferable to that of Q. virens . For what rea- 
son the younger Michaux does not mention this spe- 
cies, I cannot tell, unless he considers it only a variety 
of the preceding • which most certainly is not the case.
