dual known, which grows on the plantation of the 
Messrs. Bartrarns near Philadelphia. It probably is 
only a hybrid plant on that account, and cannot with 
propriety be considered a genuine species : but the 
younger Michaux having given a good figure of it, I 
insert it here on that account only.

The IVdter Oak is about forty feet high when full 
grown ; its wood is but little valued. Its leaves vary, 
according to soil and age, ad infinitum. There is 
scarcely one tree found having leaves like the other, 
and the same tree is almost as variable in Its different 
branches.
