ing, a tree of large size, and its nuts are eaten by men 
and several species of animals. The wood is put to

Walnut. The younger Michaux has altered the 
adopted name, and substituted one indicating the me- 
dicinal use made of it, which certainly would be a 
very good name if the old one had not been so long 
established,
