A general account of the state is followed by a list of trees with 
distributional and economic notes. The number of known arborescent 
species (Crataegus segregates not being included) is given as 134, 
and some 20 others are said to be probably components of the flora 
of Georgia with a few possible segregates to be added, bringing 
the arborescent flora of the state up to a total of about 150 species.

Lund och dess utbredning inom Skandinavien. (Botaniska 
Notiser. V. p. 231—237. 1907.) 
Die meistens als Art, vom Verf. und Anderen als Varietät be¬ 
trachtete Pflanze unterscheidet sich von der Hauptart nur durch 
kleineren und zarteren Wuchs, in der Regel 4 Staubblätter und 
hellere, im trockenen Zustande rubinrote Samen. 
Die Verbreitung geschieht durch fliessendes Wasser. Die Samen 
halten sich wenigstens 3 bis 4 Tage an der Oberfläche; befeuchtet 
bleiben sie leicht auch an glatten Gegenständen kleben. Ausserdem 
kommt epizoische Verbreitung namentlich durch Rinder vor. 
Nach Skandinavien scheint die Hauptart von S. W., v. tetran¬ 
drum vom O. eingewandert zu sein. Grevillius (Kempen a. Rh.).

Figures of the fruit and seeds of this Philippine species confused 
by some authors with the common and very different A. triloba, 
Forst. (A. moluccana , Willd.). It differs from A. cordata , Steud. and 
A. Fordii , Hemsl. (Hook. Sc. Pl. t. 2801) in all the leaves being 
entire, the flowers smaller, the fruit larger with a thicker pericarp 
and in the very thin, distinctly nerved cotyledons, which are more 
decidedly cordate at the base. A. saponaria , Blanco, is another name 
for the same species. Author’s abstract.
