F. Busu, BoTANIST, INDEPENDENCE, Mo. The following list of trees, shrubs and vines of Missouri has been prepared at the request of Mr. L. A. Goodman, Secretary of the Hor- ticultural Society of Missouri, for insertion in their 37th annual réport. The copy has been hastily written for the printer, as the report itself was already in his hands, but it is complete as far as the number of our species is concerned, and no especial effort has been made to learn the complete distribution of each species in the State, and the only reason it is.now presented is that it may serve to stimulate our farmers and horticulturists to observe and learn more about the woody plants about them. As the interest for the study of our plants is awakened in the minds of the people, so in proportion we will know what species we have and their exact distribution throughout the State. Stretching so far north and south as our State does, we are not surprised that our ligneous flora is so large and greatly diversified, and itis partly on account of its great diversity of species that nothing more is known of it, but more on account of its great diversity of character, which naturally divides the State into four more or less dis- tinct areas. These areas follows: The Northeastern, the Northwest- ern, the Southeastern and the Southwestern. Each of these areas has a flora that is peculiar to itself—the plants of which are not found in any of the other areas. In the Northeastern we have Populus tremuloides, Gentiana quinquefolia, Cornus alternifolia, Anemone patens a H—23 * eae 354 STATE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. a a <§ hirsutissima and others; in the Northwestern are found Astragatan loti- _ florus, Yucca glauca, Meriolix serrulata, Spiesia Lamberti, Penstemon grandiflorus, and other similar species ; in the Southeastern we find Leitneria Floridana, ' Fraxinus Americana profunda, Nyssa uniflora, Trachelospermum difforme and a hundred others ; in the Southwestern, Sapindus marginatus, Acacia filiculoides, Toxylon pomiferum, Robinia pseudacacia and others. The first is clearly the flora of the North- eastern United States. The next is representative of the flora of the te _plains to the west and northwest. The third is closely related to that ig = of the Southern states; the last partakes of the flora of the South- aa west. : After a careful and comprehensive study of our woody plants, we find ourselves confronted with a problem that has puzzled many scien- | tific men, and has never been satisfactorily settled; and that is, what [ are the characteristics of our Flora, and whither is it tending? At he the first glance this may not appear very clear to many of my readers, — but the full force of the proposition will be seen when [ state it thus: what species have we in this State? From whence came they? Are they stationary, or are they moving in any direction? If in any direc- tion, then in what direction? If in some particular direction, then why.? At this point I find myself contronting alternates of opinion which have been advanced by scientific men at various times, and which may continue to be opinions for all time. On the one hand we know this: that the elevation of the State is from the southeast to the north and northwest; all the streams flow south and southeast; a few nnimportant only flow west, and none north! The wind is from the north, or some quarter of the north, in the fall and winter when all kinds of seeds and fruits are ripe. Many seed-eating birds and ani- imals migrate regularly from the north to the south in the fall and win- ter. Does it not seem very natural for plants and seeds to follow the declivity of the land from a high elevation toalower? How much ! more easy it is for plants and seeds to drift down the streams toward the south and southeast, than up? In the fall, when the lighter seeds are ripe, whence can they go, except where the north wind blows them? The migratory birds and animals eat many kinds of seeds, and then carry them to the south, where they are deposited, and what choice have they but to grow there? On the other hand, we know that certain trees follow the streams northwest beyond our limits. All the State is of alluvial character, , except a small part near the Ozark region. The prairie region was at . one time more extensive than it is now, as it is well-known that the forests are gradually encroaching upon it. The Ozark region only a = sen ei | ae vo. : ’ “£ p.* a 4 a TREES, SHRUBS AND VINES OF MISSOURI. 325 Ts ime since was thinly clad with trees, and ‘evidently was com- py bare at one time. s it more natural that our trees have come down the rivers from a e region above us, or that they are gradually ascending the streams i moving to the northwest? Being of an alluvial formation, must yt the plants that first covered the earth, consequently have been of a osaey character, such as grasses and rushes? ‘ As our prairies are becoming smaller and more restricted every year, are not the trees and shrubs advancing from the streams? The — Ozark region being thinly clad with trees at one time within the recol- — deotion of the oldest settlers, and now being very densely covered - with forests, is it not the more probable that the trces have made their : a, up the streams from the southeastern part of the State, and spread out over these hills? : My opinion is that our ligneous flora is gradually moving up the streams to the northwest, governed by some influence that I have been unable to account for at present; but the validity of my position must be apparent to any one who has given the subject any considerable study. Evidently some climatic and other changes are taking place that are causing the southern and eastern trees to slowly advance to the northwest, and that our northwestern trees are slowly pushing their way westward. ¢q The possibilities are very many, and the probabilities many, that | _ the plants that now grow wild about us unnoticed, except, perhaps, by a a few, will, in time, be found useful and beneficial. How little we know of the plums, red-haws, black-haws, raspberries, blackberries, grapes, crab-apples, service-berries, pawpaw, persimmon and other wild fruits! Trae, there are some who have spent many years of study ee of “= , > A. Pz w a . upon grapes, plums and the berries, but there are still many promising wild fruits that may be developed with a little patience and cultivation, Notes are scattered throughout the list calling attention to those fruits which are the most promising, and I trust that the farmers and é horticulturists who read this may be stimulated to study and culti- - vate some of the most promising of their locality. J And to the end that a complete history and knowledge of our ; native woody plants may be had,it is earnestly requested that teachers, a farmers and horticulturists do all they can to further this by corre- sponding with the undersigned, and sending twigs, leaves, flowers and fruit of every woody plant that they desire to learn the name of, and P also of those they already know, that are not credited in this list to the county in which they live. By doing this, you will materially aid in the 356 STATE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. or without leaves attached, should be 10 to 12 inches long, and may be = rolled in paper and transmitted through the mails at the rate of one Re cent for two ounces. Flowers and leaves may be placed between stiff Ee paste-boards, and tied with a string; and various kinds of fruits, such i as acorns, nuts and the like, may be sent in paste-board-boxes. Do not enclose any writing with them, buz send a letter accompanying the specimens, stating where they are from, the avundance of the plants, and any other information that may suggest itself to you.

A very valuable tree, found in the State south of a line drawm from the mouth of Meramec river to the southwest corner of the State, and has been found in Barry, Bollinger, Butler, Carter, Christian, Crawford, Dent, Doug- las, Howell, Iron, Madison, McDonald, Oregon, Ozark, Perry, Reynolds, Ripley, Shannon, St. Francois, Ste. Genevieve, Taney, Washington and Wayne counties. Probably reaching its highest development in Reynolds, Shannon, Wayne, Carter and Ripley counties. This is Pinus mitis Michx. 2. Taxodium distichum (L.) L. C. Rich. Bald Cypress. A large, valuable tree, confined to the lowlands of the south- eastern part of the State, and ascending the streams that flow into the southeast. It grows in Bollinger, Butler, Cape Girardeau, Dunklin, Mississippt, New Mad- Tid, Pemiscot, Ripley, Scott and Stoddard counties. Reaches its greatest devel- opment in those counties adjacent to the Mississippi river, where there are vast forests of it, and many trees that are 150 feet in height and 30 feet in girth. 3. Juniperus Virginiana L. Red Cedar. A valuable tree, growing oaturally in many counties in the State, and probably reaching its greatest development and abundance in Bollinger, Car- ter, Franklin, [ron, Jefterson, Madison, Shannon, St. Francois, Washington and Wayne counties. Also occurs sparingly and is introduced in Boone, Butier, Cal- laway, Cape Girardeau, Clark, Cole, Jackson, McDonald, Miller, Newton, Pike, . St. Louis and Webster counties. Confined for the greater part to the counties south of the Missouri river. . LILY FAMILY (LILIACE),. 4. Yucea glauca Nutt. ; Soap weed—Bear grass. Occurs only in the extreme northwestern part of the State, on the high loess mounds in Atchison and Holt counties. The long sapona- ceous roots are commonly dug by the country people for making soap.

A low, thorny species found in the lowlands of the southern part of the State, in Danklin, Howell, Jasper, McDonald, Mississippi and Oregon coun 6. Smilax glauca Waet. _-—s- Sawbrier. A lowland species that is confined to the southeastern part of the y State, and found in Bollinger, Batler, Cape Girardeau, Dunklin, New Madrid, Ore- gon, St. Francois, Stoddard and Wayne counties. In the cotton-raising counties dt is a vile pest and is called Sawbrier. 7. Smilax hispida Mubl. Greenbrier—Catbrier. Common in many counties in the State, along streams R woods, where it is quite annoying to farmers in clearing new iand. It ‘has been found in Atchison, Boone, Butler, Callaway, Cape Girardeau, Clark, Clay, - Dunklin, ‘Greene, |Jackson, Jasper, Jefferson, McDonald, Newton, Oregon, Pike, _ Ray, Shannon, St. Francois and Wayne counties. . > _ §. Smilax pseudo-China L. ia Sarsaparilla. Has been reported from Boone, Greene, Pemiscot, Pike and ( Shannon counties, but it is quite probable that the Boone county and Pike county - determinations were based upon some other species of Smilax, as this is a lowland ‘= species, and does not occur north of the Missouri river. 9. Smilax rotundifolia L. ; Horsebrier—Greenbrier. A species confined to the southern part of the State, ‘and has been found in Sutler, Cape Girardeau, Dunklin, Jasper, McDonald, New _ Madrid, St. Louis and Wayne counties. Has been reported from Atchison county, by Broadhead, but this was evidently Smilax hispida, and also from Pike county by Pech, but it is hardly probable that it gets so far north. WALNUT FAMILY (JUGLANDACE*). 40. J uglans cinerea L. White Walnut—Butternut. Occurs principally in the eastern and southern part of the State, never common at any place. Has been found in Adair, Audrain, Bollinger, Butler, Cape Girardeau, Clark, Dunklin, Greene, Howard, Lafayette, Macon, Madison, Marion, Mississippi, Newton, Pike, Ralls, Saline, Shannon, ‘St. ~Francois, St. Louis, Stoddard, Sullivan, Washington, Wayne and Wright counties. Not of any economic value, either for its wood or its fruit. 1b Juglans nigra L. , Black Walnut—Walnut. A very large valuable tree, occurring throughout the State generally, but reaching its greatest development in the southwestern part of . the State, where trees are to be found that are three to five feet in diameter.

Found Bi { in many counties in the State and 1eported from Adair, Butler, Cape Girardeau, Bec Carter, Clay, Dunklin, Greene, Howell, Jackson, Jasper, Madison, McDonald, e Oregon, Shannon, St. Francois, St. Louis, Stoddard, Texas, Wayne and Webster counties. ‘This is Carya tomentosa Nutt. . ez" 13. HAicoria aquatica ( Michx. f.) Britton. Swamp Hickory. A southern swamp species that has been reported irom But- ler county by Letterman, and will probably be found in other parts of the low- lands of the southeastern part of the State. This is Carya aquatica Nutt. ‘ed 14. Hicoria glabra ( Mill.) Britton. Pignut Hickory. A large, valuable tree in the southeastern part of the State, where it abounds, but the nuts are inedible. Has been found in Adair, Atchison, Butler, Daviess, Dunklin, Madison, Pike and St. Louis counties. This and Hico~ ria minimg have been confused so much that what was observed at the localities north of the Missouri;river may have been the latter. This is Carya porcina Nutt. 15. Hicoria laciniosa ( Michx. f.) Sargent. Big Shell-bark. A very large, valuable tree with the largest nuts of our hickor- ies,which are quite excellent eating. [ts range is chiefly in the southern part of the State, along streams in lowlands, and has been found in Atchison, Bollinger, But- ler, Cape Girardeau, Clark, Dunklin, Jackson, Livingston, Madison, Scotland and St. Louis counties. This is Carya sulcata Nutt. 16. Hicoria microcarpa ( Nutt.) Britton. Small-fruited hickory. What appears to be this species is found at Allenton, St. Louis county. This is Carya microcarpa Nutt. 17. Hicoria minima ( Marsh.) Britton. Bitternut. A valuable tree, bearing inedible nuts, which are commonly called pignut, but this name properly belongs to Aicoria glabra. It occursin many coun- ties and is more widely distributed than pignut. Jt is found in Atchison, Bollin- ger, Butler, Clark, Clay, Dunklin, Holt, Jackson, McDonald, Newton, Oregon, Ray, Scotland, Shannon, St. Francois, St. Louis and: Wayne counties. This is Carya amara Nutt. - 18. Hicoria ovata ( Mill.) Britton. Shell-bark Hickory—White Hickory. A very valuable tree, both for lumber an@ its excellent nuts, which are the principal hickory-nuts of the market. Widely distributed over the whole State, except perhaps the Ozark region, where it does not appear to occur batrarely. An idea may be had of its range in the State when By it is known to occur in Adair, Atchison, Bollinger, Butler, Cape Girardeau, Clark, Clay, Daviess, Dunklin, Greene, Holt, Jackson, Jefferson, Madison, McDonald, Mississippi, Pike, Ray, Scotland, Shannon, St. Francois, St. Louis. Stoddard, Texas, Vernon, Washington, Wayne and Wright counties. This is Carya albe Nutt. a me i TO _ ag i ES aie < a? ‘ . aaa , = _ TREES, SHRUBS AND VINES OF MISSOURI. 359 Hicoria Pecan ( Marsh.) Britton. A very large valuable tree, more esteemed for its excellent fruit than tree in the State. The most valuable nuts are those grown in the low- of the southeastern part of the State. It is found along streams in low land, grows in Bates, Cape Girardeau, Dunklin, Jackson, Livingston, McDonald, Mississippi, Pike, Platte, St. ‘Louis and Vernon ‘counties. This is Carya olive- formis Nutt. ee , ue 4 LEITNERIA FAMILY (LEITNERIACE ). 20. Leitnera Floridana Chapm. : Cork-wood-cork-tree. A southern gulf coast species with remarkably light wood. As shown by me in the fifth annual report of the Missouri Botanical garden, this species, in common with others, works its way up the Mississippi river to the goutheastern part of the State, to where evidently an arm of the Gulf of Mexico once extended. The wood is the lightest now known, and is used by fishermen - for floats, and other purposes which require’ a light wood, whence the common “i uames. It has been found in Butler and Dunklin counties. * WILLOW FAMILY (SALICACE2). 21. Popalus alba L. White poplar. Commonly planted for ornament, and spreading from the root very much. [t has been reported as escaped in Dunklin, Greene, Jackson, Jeffer- gon and Newton counties. 22. Populus balsamifera L. Balsam poplar. Reported from ‘Boone county, but evidently not native there. 23. Populus grandidentata Michx. boll Large-toothed Aspen. Reported from Boone and Pike counties, but there must a be some mistake about this, as I do not think it occurs in the State. 24. Populus heterophylla L. ; Downy Poplar. This is the congener of the Bald Cypress, as it is found only in . the lowlands of the southeastern part of the State. Not of any economic import- ) ; ance, as it does not attain sufficient size to cut into lumber.- Is found in Bollinger, Butler, Cape Girardeau, Dunklin, Mississippi, New Madrid, Scott, Stoddard and Wayne counties. It was also seported from Miller by Wirick, but there evidently | has been a mistake made in the determination of the tree. 25. Populus monilifera Ait. Cottonwood. A very large valuable tree, reaching its greatest development in the southeast part of the State where trees have been cut that were over seven feet 7. in diameter. This and the Sweet Gum are our two loftiest trees, specimens hav- * ing been noted that were over 175 feet in height. Occurs abundantly along the Missouri and Mississippi rivers in low bottoms, and common along the smaller streams. Is found in Adair, Andrew, Atchison, Barry, Bollinger, Buchanan, Cape | Girardeau, Carroll, Carter, Chariton, Clark, Clay, Daviess, Dunkliz, Scott, Jack- gon, Jasper, Jefferson, Linn, Madison, McDonald, Mississippi, New Madrid, New- ton, Platte, Ray, Scotland, Scott, St. Louis, Stoddard, Washington, Wayne and Wright counties. 360 STATE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 26. Populus tremuloides Michx. ta Fe y % ~— pr Pe es me Siem pep eR Ch aie: Trembling Aspen. A small tree of no economic value, occurring in the north- — ie eastern part of the State. The peculiar trembling motion of the leaves has given ne rise to its popular name. Hasbeen found in Adair, Clark and Sullivan counties; i also reported from Franklin county by Swallow, but this must have been an error in determination. 27. Salix alba L. : ; White willow. Commonly planted for ornament, and reported as having escaped ass in the State, by Tracy. oe 28. Salix alba vitellina (L.) Koch. Osier willow. Like the last, is commonly planted, and has been observed in Jackson, growing along branches. f oe . 29. Salix amygdaloides Anders. pets Almond willow. A large tree growing in bottoms along the Missouri and Mississippi rivers. It has been found in Andrew, Atchison, Cape Girardeau, Clark, Clay, Holt, Jackson, Platte, Scotland and Stoddard counties. 30. Salix Babylonica L. Weeping willow. Commonly planted for ornament, and has escaped from culti- vation in Jackson county. 31. Salix candida Flugge. Hoary willow. Has been reported from Iron and Pike counties, but I have never seen it in the State. 32. Salix cordata Muhl. Heart-leaved willow, A smallshrubby tree along branches. Occurs in Howell, Jackson, Shannon and St. Louis counties. 33. Salix cordata vestita Anders. Diamond willow. A larger tree than the last, with very hard wood, whichis quite durable, and called Black willow by farmers, a name which properly belongs to Salix nigra. The tree is confiued to the rich alluvial bottoms along the Missouri river, and appears quite distinct from the last. It has been found in Andrew, ° Atchison, Clay, Holt, Jackson, Platte, Scotland and St. Louis counties. 34. Salix discolor Muhl. ’ . Glaucous willow. Has been collected in Clark and Pike counties only. 35. Salix fragilis L. Crack willow. Reported as collected in Pike county by Pech, but this is probably a mistake. 36. Salix humilis Marsh. Prairie willow. A very common bushy willow on the prairies, and becoming a small tree in Jackson county along small streams. It is found in Atchison, Boone, Carter, Christian, Clark, Greene,’ Howell, Jackson, Lawrence, McDon- ald, Newton, Shannon, Warren, Wayne, Webster and Wright counties. The arborescent form was mistaken for Salix ‘petiolaris in my Flora of Jackson county, Missouri.

A very common willow, and one of our most valuable nasmuch as it binds the shifting sands on the banks and sand-bars of BSOU and Mississippi rivers, with its long creeping roots; on which ac- : t is often called Sand-bar willow, apd sometimes White willow, a name TOP erly belonging to Saliz alba. It occurs in Andrew, Atchison, Boone, Bu- ebanan, Clark, Clay, Holt, Jackson, Platte and Putnam counties. 38 Salix lucida Muhl. Shining willow. This species is so difficult to distinguish from some forms of | Sale nigra, that I have some doubt that this specier occurs in Jackson county, as Ny reported by me. 89. Salix nigra Marsh. ss Black willow. The largest of our willows, often attaining the height of 125 feet, and having tte greatest distribution, but its range appears to extend from the Dorthwestero to the southeastern part of the State ; does not appear to be present in the southwestern part of the State, being supplanted by the next tree. It bas been observed in Andrew, Atchison, Bollinger, Buchanan, Cape Giyardeau, Clay, Dunklin, Holt, Jackson, Jasper, Madison, New Madrid. Pemiscot, Pike, Platte, Ripley, St. Francois, St. Louis, Stoddard and Wayne counties. +40. Salix nigra Wardi Bebb. ss Ward’s willow. A species confined to the southwestern part of the State, and , d I not have other reasons for thinking this a good species, this difference in ~—s- Fange alone would cause me to suspect it. Its present known range is from the mouth of the Kansas river south, and from Little river west, and has been found in Bollinger, Carter, Dade, Greene, Howell, Jackson, Jasper, Lawrence, Madison, - MeDonsld, Newton, Oregon, Shannon, St. Francois, Stoddard, Texas, Wayne and - Wright counties. 41, Salix sericea Marsh. Silky willow. A species of the low lands adjoining the Mississippi river, and - has been found in Cape Girardeag, St. Louis and Washington counties. f 42. Salix tristis Ait. Dwarf gray willow. A low, bushy species, which has been reported from Greene and Pike counties; but I have never seen it. BIRCH FAMILY ( BrruLacE 2). | 43, Carpinus Caroliniana Walt. Ironwood — Hornbeam — Blue beech— Water beech. A small-sized tree, with a smooth trunk and hard. heavy wood, having a range south and east of a iine drawn from the northeastern to the southwestern part of the State. It is found in Bol- _ linger, Boone, Butler, Callaway, Cape Girardeau, Clark, Cole, Dunklin, Lincoln, Madison, McDonald, Miseissippi, Oregon, Pike, Ralls, Shannon, St. Louis, Stod- dard and Wayne counties. _ 44.

A small-sized tree, with rough bark and very hard, heavy wood, which has 4 range principally north and westof a line from the north- a H—24 * ee 362 STATE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. ae ie eastern to the southwestern part of the State. Sometimes rarely found in the ] southeastern part of the State, but very common in the northwestern part. Has : been found in Adair, Andrew, Atchison, Butler, Cape Girardeau, Clark, Daviess, Poy / Dunklin, Greene, Jackson, Jasper, Madison, McDonald, Oregon, Pike, Randolph, Or! Shannon and St. Louis counties. ar 45. Corylus Americana Walt. Hazelnut» A well-known, widely diffused shrub in the State, commonly found 4 in rich soil in the vicinity of streams. Perhaps occurring in every county in the { state, and at present known to grow in Adair, Atchison, Buchanan, Butier, Cape Girardeau, Carter, Clark, Dunklin, Greene, Jackson, Jefferson, Madison, McDon- ald, Mississippi, Newton, Oregon, Pike, Scotland, Shannon, St. Francois, St. Louis, Sullivan, Texas, Washington, Wayne, Webster and Wright counties. 46. Corylus rostratus Ait. Beaked hazelnut. What appears to be this species bas been found in Jackson and Newton counties. It may be distinguished from the last species by the bur which surrounds the nut being of one piece, while the bur of the last is in two pieces. 47. Betula nigra L. Red birch—Black birch. A very common tree south and east of a line drawn from the northeastern to southwestern part of the State. Has ararnge similar to that of Blue beech and Sassafras, and grows along river courses and around ponds and lakes. It is found in Adair, Audrain, Barton, Bollinger, Butler, Cape Girar-. deau, Carroll, Carter, Cedar, Chariton, Clark, Dade, Daviess, Dunklin, Henry, Johnson, Linn, Macon, Madison, McDonald, Newton, Pettis, Pike, Randolph, Ripley, Scotland, Shannon, St. Francois, St. Louis, Stoddard, Vernon, Washing- ton and Wayne counties. 48. Betula populifolia Marsh. White birch. A small tree, reported by Tracy as occurring in the State, but. _ has not since been found. Probably the preceding species. 49. Betula pumila L. Low birch. Said to have been found in Washington county by Pech, but L have not seen it. 50. Alnus ineana (L.) Willd. Speckled alder. Ssid to have been found in Mississippi county by Galloway, but has not been collected since. 51. Alnus rugosa (Ebrh.) Koch. Smooth alder. A small shrub found growing along rocky branches, principally in the southern part of the Stete. Occurs in Bollinger, Butler, Cedar, Cole, Howell, [ron, Lewis, Lincoln, Madison, Marion, Pike, St. Francis, St. Louis, Stod- dard, Washington and Wayne counties. This is Alnus serrulata Willd. OAK FAMILY (TAGACEZz). 52. Fagus atropunicea ( Marsh.) Sudw. Bi Beech.

Castanea pumila Mill. . 34 Chinquapin. A large tree occurring in the mountaineous regions of the south part of the State, where it has been found in Barry, Cedar, Jasper, McDonald and - Newton counties. Fruit similar to that of the Chestout, and often mistaken for it. | “ 55. Quercus alba L. _- White-oak. One of our most valuable, as well as the bast known of our oaks. Reaching Its greatest development in the southeastern part of the State, where there are veritable giants in girth and height. Occurs throughout the State gen- * erally, but principally south of the Missouri river. [tis found in Adair, Andrew, Bollinger, Butler, Cape Girardeau, Carter, Cedar, Clark, Clay, Cole, Duanklin, Greene, Howard, Howell, Jacksoo, Jefferson, Lawrence, Livingston, Madison, - McDonald, Mississippi, Newton, Oregon, Platte, Scotland, Shannon, St. Francois, St. Louis, Stoddard, Sullivan, Texas, Vernon, Washington, Wayne, Webster and _ Wright counties. 56. Quercus albaXmacrocarpa Engelm. A hybrid between the white-oak and bur-oak, of which one tree has been found in Jackson county. 57. Quercus alba Mahlenbergii B. F. Bush. A hybrid between the white-oak and the chinquapin-oak, of which one tree has been found in Jackson county, 58. Quercus aquatica ( Lam.) Walt. Water-oak. A species of the lowlands of the southeastern part of the State. A large, valuable tree, bearing a close resemblance to the shingle-oak; is found in Butler and Dunklin counties, and has been reported from Greene county, but this must be a mistake in determination. 59. Quercus coccinea Wang. Scarlet-oak WhatI take to be this species has been found in Jackson and Shannon counties. There seems to be some doubt about its occurrence in our borders, although Sargent cites specimens as coming from the northeastern part of the State. It has also been reported from St. Louts, but that may have been the Texas red-oak, which is common there, and is commonly mistaken for this species. 60. Querons digitata ( Marsh.) Sudw. Spanish oak. A large tree of the lowlands of the southeastern part of tue State, of little economic importance. Grows in Batler, Danklin, New Madrid, Ripley and Wayne counties. Has been reported from Adair and Livingston ‘counties by Broadhead, but it is not likely this lowland species should be found go far north. Also reported from St. Louis county, but this, too, is doubtfal, as the suitable habitat for it is not there. This is Quercus falcata Michx. 364 STATE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. ; 61. Quercus imbricaria Michx. Shingle-oak. A very large valuable tree mostly confined to the central part of ‘the State, where it reaches its greatest development. In the early days much used ~ for making shingles, whence the common name. It is found in Adair, Bollinger, Boone, Butler, Cape Girardeau, Carroll, Cass, Clark, Clay, Clinton, Daviess, Dunklin, Greene, Howell, Jackson, Jefferson, Linn, Livingston, Madison, Miller, Oregon, Pike, Ray, Scotland, St. Francois, St. Louis, Stoddard, Sullivan, Wash- ington, Wayne and Webster counties. ‘62, Quercus imbricaria Xx coccinea Engelm. A hybrid between the Shingle-oak and the Searlet-oak. This has undoubtedly been found in the State, and I question very much if one of the supposed parents is the Scarlet-cak. Has been found in Butler, Pettis, St. Louis and Wsshington counties. This is Quercus Leana Nutt. 63. Quercus imbricaria x palustris Engelm. A hybrid between the Shingle-oak and the Pine-oak ; has been found inSt. Louis county. 64. Quercus imbricariaXrubra B. F. Bush. A hybrid between the Shingle oak and the Red-oak ; bas been found in Jack- son county. 65. Quercus lyrata Walt. Overcup-oak. A large valuable tree in the lowlands of the southeastern part of the State, where it has been found in Butler, Cape Girardeau, Dunklin, Missis- sippi, New Madrid, St. Louis and Wayne counties. 66. Quercus macrocarpa Michx. Bnr-oak. One of our largest, and next to the White-oak, the most valuable of our oaks. Distributed over the whole State, but most abundant along the Missouri river in the bottoms.

Quercus nigra L. a Black jack oak. A small-sized tree of little value, reaching its greatest devel- ‘a opment in the Ozark region, where it is in the greatest abundance. Its range is principally, if not entirely, south of the Missouri river, as I have never seen it north ofit. It is known to grow in Barton, Bollinger, Carter, Christian, Dunklin, Greene, Howell, Jackson, Jefferson, Lawrence, McDonald, Newton, Oregon, Shannon, St. Francois, St. Louis, Texas, Washington, Webster and Wright counties. Broadhesd reported it from Adair and Nodaway counties, but probably erroneously, and Pech is said to have collected it in Pike county. 7 ‘ 74. Quercus palustris Du Roi. Pin-oak.

Quercus Phellosxrubra Hollick. - 5 Bartram’s-oak. A hybrid between some two species of oaks, and not yet defi- : nitely settled, but according to the new check-list, between the Willow-oak and the Red-oak. 1 collected it in Dunklin county, a region in which the Red-oak has yi ‘been shown not to occur, and Broadhead found it in De Kalb, Shelby and Sullivan — } counties, and Swallow found it in Cooper and Pettis counties—all localities where the Willow-oak does not grow. It was considered a hybrid between the Willow-oak and the Black-oak by Gray, and to this combination the Willow-oak is an objection, as stated above: Engelmann considered it a hybrid between the Willow-oak and the Scarlet-oak, and as the Scarlet-oak-does not extend to the southeastern part of the State, my Dunklin county specimens could not represent this hybrid. ‘his is perhaps the most interesting oak hybrid we have, and has been the subject of much discussion, and is the Quercus heterophylla Michx. f. 77.

A very valuable large elm, found along streams in several counties in the State, and probably more common than is now known, sas it closely resembles the White elm, and only a critical examinaticn can distin- _ guish it. It may be recognized by the larger, longer buds, the corky- winged branchlets, and the flowers. being racemed instead of in umbels, and produced much later. It is used considerably for making wagon repairs, such as axle-trees, p tongues, etc. Has been found thus far in Atchison, Boone, Clark, Dunklin, Jack- gon and Stoddard counties. x 368 STATE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 87.

Arundinaria tecta (Walt.) Mubl. r < Small Cane—Switch Cane A well-known woody grass, very common in the Southeastern part of the state, and not infrequent in the Southern and South- western. This family should properly have beaded this list, but was overlooked, and so Linsertit here. The Big Cane, Arundinaria macrosperma bas been reported ___ a8 oceurring in the state by Swallow, but there is no evidence to show that it does ‘grow in the state, although it cannot be very far from our Southeastern limits. A number of other woody plants have been reported and credited to the P State, but there is not sufficient evidence to warrant me in including them in the list. It may be when we come to publish a second report on our woody plants that some of these doubtful things may be proved to actually occur within our imits.
