In fertile woods : New England to Florida, b • April, 
May. v. v . The Black Walnut is, like all the follow- 
ing, a tree of large size, and its nuts are eaten by meq 
and several species of animals. The wood is put to 
various mechanical and- '.(economical uses ; for which 
information I refer to the different authors on forest 
trees, but particularly to the works of the younger 
Michaux.

Near the sea-coast : Canada to Virginia, and on the Al- 
legany mountains, b • April, May. v. v. It is known 
under the name of Butter Nut , Oil Nut, and White 
Walnut. The younger Michaux has altered the 
adopted name, and substituted one indicating the me- 
dicinal use made of it, which certainly would be 4 
very good name if the old one had not been so long 
established.
