SHRUBS AND VINES or MISSOURI B, F, Bush, Botanist, Independenob, 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 report. 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 kuow what species we have and their exact distribation 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 it is 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 are as 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, Oentiana quinquefolia, Gornus alternifolia, Anemone patens H— 23 354 STATE HOBTICULTUEAL SOCIETY. Mrsutissima and others; in the Northwestern are found Astragalus loti- florus, Yucca glauca, MerioUx serrulata, Spiesia Lamberti, Penstemon grandiflorus, and other similar species ; in the Southeastern we find Leitneria Floridana, \Fraxinus Americana profunda, Nyssa unifiora, Trachelospermum difforme and a hundred others ; in the Southwestern, Sapindus marginatus, Acacia filiculoides, Toxylon pomiferum, Eobinia pseudacacia and others. The first is clearly the flora of the North- eastern United States. The next is representative of the flora of the plains to the west and northwest. The third is closely related to that of the Southern states ; the last partakes of the flora of the South- 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 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 I 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 fiud myself confronting 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 unimportant 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 to a lower? 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 TREES, SHRUBS AND VINES OP MISSOURI. 325 short time since was thinly clad with trees, and evidently was com- pletely bare at one time. Is it more natural that our trees have come down the rivers from a prairie region above us, or that they are gradually ascending the streams «,nd moving to the northwest? Being of an alluvial formation, must not the plants that first covered the earth, consequently have been of a sedgy character, such as grasses and rushes ? As our prairies are becoming smaller and more restricted every jear, are not the trees and shrubs advancing from the streams? The Ozark region being thinly clad with trees at one time within the recol- lection of the oldest settlers, and now being very densely covered "with forests, is it not the more probable that the trees have made their Tvay 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. The possibilities are very many, and the probabilities many, that the plants that now grow wild about us unnoticed, except, perhaps, by 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 ! True, there are some who have spent many years of study oipon 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 horticulturists who read this may be stimulated to study and culti- vate some of the most promising of their locality. And to the end that a complete history and knowledge of our native woody plants may be had, it is earnestly requested that teachers, 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 also of those they already know, that are not credited in this list to the <30unty in which they live. By doing this, you will materially aid in the 356 STATE HOETIOULTUEAL SOCIETY. work of studying the distribution of oar woodj; plants. Twigs, with 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 cent for two ounces. Flowers and leaves may be placed between stiff paste-boards, and tied with a string ; and various kinds of fruits, such as acorns, nuts and the like, may be sent in paste-board-boxes. Do- not enclose any writing with them, but send a letter accompanying the specimens, stating where they are from, the abundance of the plants, and any other information that may suggest itself to you. PINE FAMILY (CONIFERS) 1. Pinus echinatus Mill. Yellow Pine. A. very valuable tree, found in the State south of a line drawB 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 Ueyuolds, Shannon, Wayne, Carter and Ripley counties. This is Pinus miiis Michx. 2. Taxodium distichum ( L.) L. 0. Eich. 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, Mississippi, New Mad- rid, 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 naturally in many counties In the State,, and probably reaching its greatest development and abundance in Bollinger, Car- ter, Franklin, Iron, Jefierson, Madison, Shannon, St. Francois, Washington and Wayne counties. Also occurs sparingly and is introduced in Boone, Butler, Cal- laway, Cape Girardeau, Clark, Cole, Jackson, McDonald, Miller, Newton, Pike, St. Louis and Webster counties. Conflned for the greater part to the counties- south of the Missouri river. LILY FAMILY (LILIACE^). 4. Yucca glauca li^'att. 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. This is Yucca angusiifolia Pursh. TBEES, SHRURS AND VINES OF MISSOURI. 357 SMILAX FAMILY (SMILAOE^). 6. Smilax bonaXNox L. Oreenbrier. A low, thorny species found In the lowlands of the southern part of the State, in Dunklin, Howell, Jasper, McDonald, Mississippi and Oregon coun ■ ties. <5. Smilax glauca Waet. Sawbrier. A. lowland species that is oonflned to the southeastern part of the 3tate, and found in Bollinger, Butler, Cape Girardeau, Dunklin, New Madrid, Ore- gon, St. Francois, Stoddard and Wayne counties. In the cotton-raising counties It Is a Tile pest and is called Sawbrier, 7. Smilax hlepida Muhl. Greenbrier— Caibrier. Common in many counties In the State, along streams In 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, iijbannon, St. Francois and Wayne counties. S. Smilax pseudo-Ghina L. Haraaparilla. 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 Butler, Cape Girardeau, Dunklin, Jasper, McDonald, New Madrid, St. Louis and Wayne counties. Has been reported from Atchison county, toy Broadhead, but this was evidently Smilax hiapida, and also from Pike county by Pech, but it is hardly probable that It gets bo far north. WALNUT FAMILY ( JUGLANDACE^). 10. Jnglans 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. 11. Jaglans 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 <(he State, where trees are to be found that are three to five feet in diameter. It is known to occur in Adair, Andrew, Atchison, Barry, Benton, Bollinger, 358 STATE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. Buchanan, Butler, Cape Girardeau, Carroll, Cedar, Clark, Clay, Dade, Davieas„ Dunklin, Greene, Holt, Howard, Jackson, Jefiferson, Lawrence, Linn, Madison, McDonald, Mississippi, Newton, Oregon, Platte, Scotland, Shannon, St. Francois^ St. Louis, Stoddard, Texas, Vernon, Washington, Wayne and Wright counties .- 12. Hicoria alba (L.) Britton. Mocker-nut— Black Hickory. A large, valuable tree with edible nuts. Found' in many counties in the State and leported from Adair, Butler, Cape Girardeau, Carter, Clay, Dunklin, Greene, Howell, Jackson, Jasper, Madison, McDonald, Oregon, Shannon, St. Francois, St. Louis, Stoddard, Texas, Wayne and Webster counties. This is Carya tomentosa Nutt. 13. Hicoria aquatica ( Michx. f. ) Britton. Swamp Hickory. A southern swamp species that has been reported from But- ler county by Letterman, and will probably be found In other parts of the low- lands of the southeastern part of tha State. This is Carya aquatica Nutt. 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 minima have been confused so much that what was observed at the localities, north of the Missouii;;river may have been the flatter. 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 bickor- ieB,whlch are quite excellent eating. lis range is chiefly in the southern part of the; State, along stream? in lowlands, and has been found in AtohisOQ, 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. Bittemui. A valuable tree, bearing inedible nuts, which are commonly called' pignut, but this name properly belongs to Hicoria glabra. It occurs in many coun- ties and is more widely distributed than pignut. It is found in Atchison, Bollin- ger, Butler, Clark, Clay, Dunklin, Holt, Jackson, McDonald, Newton, Oregon, Kay, Scotland, Shannon, St. Francois, St. Louis and Wayne counties. This i& Carya amara Nutt. ' 18. Hicoria ovata (Mill.) Britton. Shell-bark Hickory— White Hickory. A very valuable tree, both for lumber and? 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 but rarely. An idea may be had of its range in the State when it is known to occur in Adair, Atchison , Bollinger, Butler, Cape Girardeau, Clark, Clay, Daviess, Dunklin, Greene, Holt, Jackson, .Tefferson, Madison, McDonald, Mississippi, Pike, Ray, Scotland, Shannon, St. Francois, St. Louis, Stoddard, Texas, Vernon, Washington, Wayne and Wright counties. This is Carya alba. Nutt. TREES, SHRUBS AND VINES OP MISSOURI. 359 19. Hicoria Pecan (Marsh.) Britton. Peoan. A very large valuable tree, more esteemed for its excellent fruit than any other tree In the State. The most valuable nuts are those grown in the low- land of the southeastern part of the State. It is found along streams in low land, and grows in Bates, Gape Girardeau, Dunklin, Jackson, Livingston, McDonald, Mississippi, Pike, Platte, St. ;Louis ;and Vernon ; counties. This is Carya olivce- formis Nutt. LEITNERIA FAMILY ( Lbitnehiacb^ ). 20. Leitneria Floridana Chapm. Cork-wood-eork-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 southeastern 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 names. It has been found in Butler and Dunklin counties. WILLOW FAMILY { Salioaoe^). 21. Popalns alba L. White poplar. Commonly planted for ornament, and spreading from the root very much. It has been reported as escaped in Dunklin, Greene, Jackson, Jeffer- son and Newton counties. 22. Popnlus balsamifera L. Balsam poplar. Reported from Boone county, but evidently not native there. 23. Populus grandidentata Michx. Large-toothed Aspen. Reported from Boone and Pike counties, but there must be some mistake about this, as I do not think it occurs in the State. 24. Popalus 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 sufScient size to cut Into lumber. Is found in Bollinger, Butler, Cape Girardeau, Dunklin, Mississippi, New Madrid, Scott, Stoddard and Wayne counties. It was also reported 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 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, Charlton, Clark, Clay, Daviess, Dunklir, Scott, Jack- son, Jasper, Jeflerson, Linn, Madison, McDonald, Mississippi, New Madrid, New- ton, Platte, Ray, Scotland, Scott, St. Louis, Stoddard, Washington, Wayne and Wright counties. 360 STATE HOETICULTURAL SOOIETT. 26. Populus tremnloides Michx. Trembling Aspen. A small tree of no economic value, occurring in the north- eastern part of the State. The peculiar trembling motion of the leaves has given rise to its popular name. Has been found in Adair, Clark and Sullivan counties; 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 in the State, by Tracy. 28. Salix alba vitellina ( L.) Koch. Osier willow. Like the last, is commonly planted, and has been observed in Jackson, growing along branches. 29. Salix amygdaloides Anders. 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 Babylonioa L. Weeping willow. Commonly planted for ornament, and has escaped from culti- vation in Jackson county. 31. Salix Candida Flagge. Scary willow. Has been reported from Iron and Pike counties, but I have never seen it in the State. 32. Salix cordata Mnhl. Heart-leaved willow. A small shrubby 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, which is- quite durable, and called Black willow by far mers, a name which properly belongs to Salix nigra. The tree is confined to the rich alluvial bottoms along the Missouri river, and appears quite distinct from the last. It has been found in Andrew, Atchison, Clay, flolt, 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. TREES, SHRUBS AND VINES OF MISSOURI. 361 37. Salix longifolia MuM. Lovg-leaved willow. A very common willow, and one of our most valuable , species, inasmuch as it binds the shifting sands on the banks and sand-bars of the Missouri ^nd Mississippi rivers, with its long creeping roots; on which ac- count it is often called Sand-bar willow, and sometimes White willow, a name properly belonging to Salix alba. It occurs in Andrew, Atchison, Boone, Bu- ■chanan, Clark, Clay, Holt, Jackson, Platte and Putnam counties. ,38. Salix lucida Muhl. Shining willow. This species i8 so difficult to distinguish from some forms of Snlia; nigra, that I have some.doubc that this speciep occurs in Jackson county, as reported by me. 29, Salix nigra Marsh. Black willow. The largest of our willows, often attaining the height of 125 feet, and having the greatest distribution, but its range appears to extend from the northwestern 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 has been observed in Andrew, Atchison, Bollinger, Buchanan, Cape Girardeau, Clay, Dunklin, Holt, Jackson, Jasper, Madison, New Madrid. Pemiscot, Pike, Platte, Eipley, St. Francois, St. Louis, Stoddard and Wayne counties. 40. Salix nigra Wardi Bebb. Ward^s willow. A species confined to the southwestern part of the State, and did I not have other reasons for thinking this a good species, this difference in range 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, McDonald, 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 Girardeau, St. Louis and Washington counties. 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. BIKOH FAMILY ( BiTULACE js ). 43. Carpinus Oaroliniana 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 line 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, Mississippi, Oregon, Pike, Ralls, Shannon, St. Louis, Stod- dard and Wayne counties. 44. Ostrya Virginiana ( Mill.) Willd. Ironwood— Hop hornbeam. A small-Sized tree, with rough bark and very hard, lieavy wood, which has a range principally north and west of a line from the north- H— 24 362 STATE HOETIOULTURAL SOCIETY. 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. Ha» been found in Adair, Andrew, Atchison, Butler, Cape Girardeau, Clark, Daviess, Dunklin, Greene, Jackson, Jasper, Madison, McDonald, Oregon, Pike, Randolph, Shannon and St. Louis counties. 45. Corylus Americana Walt. Hazelnut A well-known, widely diffused shrub in the State, commonly found in rich soil in the vicinity of streams. Perhaps occurring in every county in th& state, and at present known to grosv in Adair, Atchison, Buchanan, Butier, Cap& Girardeau, Carter, Clark, Dunklin, Greene, Jackson, Jeflferson, 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 has 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 a range similar to that of Blue beech and Sassafras, and grows along river courses and around ponda 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. , Whitebirch. 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 1 have not seen it. 50. Alnus incana ( L. ) Willd. Speckled alder. Said to have been found in Mississippi county by Galloway, but has not been collected since. 51. Alnus rugosa ( Ehrh. ) Koch. Smooth alder. A small shrub found growing along rocky branches, principally in the southern part of the State. Occurs in Bollinger, Butler, Cedar, Cole, Howell, Iron, Lewis, Lincoln, Madison, Marion, Pike, St. Francis, St. Louis, Stod- dard, Washington and Wayne counties. This is Alnus serrulata Willd. OAK FAMILY (TAGAOBiB). 52. Fagus atropuaicea ( Marsh.) Sudw. Beech. This large valuable tree, whose edible nuts are so well-known, is found only in the southeastern part of the State, generally in rich woods. It is found ia TREES, SHRUBS AND VINES OP MISSOURI. 365 Butler, Cape Girardeau, Dunklin, Madison, Mlsslsaippi, Scott, Stoddard and War- ren counties. This is Fagus ferruginea Ait. 53. Oastanea dentata ( Marsh.) Sargent. Chestnut. Said by Swallow to grow in New Madrid county, and by Blankin- ship in Greene county, but probably the next species was what was found. This Is Gastanea sativa Americana Wats, and Coult. 54. Oastanea pumila Mill. 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 Chestnut, and often mistaken for it. 65. Qaercus alba L. White-oak. One Of our most valuable, as well as the best known of our oaks. Reaohiag 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. It is found in Adair, Andrew, Bollinger, Butler, Cape Girardeau, Carter, Cedar, Clark, Clay, Cole, Uunklin^ Greene, Howard, Howell, Jackson, 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 Eagelm. A hybrid between the white-oak and bur-oak, of which one tree has been found in Jackson county. 67. Quercus albaXMuhlenbergii 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. 69. Quercus coccinea Wang. Scarlet-oak What I 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. Louis, but that may have been the Texas red-oak, which is common there, and is commonly mistaken for this species. 60. Querous digitata (Marsh.) Sudw. Spanish oak. A large tree of the lowlands of the southeastern part of tbe State, of little economic importance. Grows in Butler, Dunklin, 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 so far north. Also reported from St. Louis county, but this, too, is doubtful, as. the suitable habitat for it is not there. This is Quercus falcata Michx. 364 STATE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 61. Qnercns imbricaria Michx. Shingleottk. A very large valuable tree mostly cODfloed to the central part of the State, vfhere it reaches its greatest development. In the earJy days much used for making ehingles, wheBce the common name. It is found In Adair, Bollinger, Boone, Butler, Cape Girardeau, Carroll, Cass, Clark, Clay, Clinton, Daviess, Dunklin, Greene, Howell, Jackson, Jeflerson, Linn, Livingston, Madison, Miller, Oregon, Pike, Bay, Scotland, St. Francois, St. Louis, Stoddard, Sullivan, Wash- ington, Wayne and Webster counties. €2. Qnercns imbiicaiiaXcoccinea Engelm, A hybrid between the Shingle-oak and the Scarlet-oak. This has undoubtedly been found in the State, and I question very much if one of the supposed parents is the Scarlet-oak. Has been found in Butler, Pettis, St. Louis and Wsshington counties. This is Quereus Leana Nutt. ■63. Qnercns imbricaria Xpalnstris Engelm. A hybrid between the Shingle-oak and the Pine-oak ; has been found in St. Xiouis county. 64. Quereus imbricaria X rubra B. P. Bush. A hybrid between the Shingle oak and the Red-oak ; has been found in Jack- son county. 65. Qnercns 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, Kew Madrid, St. Louis and Wayne counties. 66. Qnercns 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. A pretty fair idea of its range in the State may be had, when we know that it has been found in Adair, Andrew, Atchison, Cape Girar- deau, Cedar, Clark, Clay, Clinton, Daviess, Dunklin, Greene, Howard, Jackson, Jasper, Lawrence, Madison, McDonald, Mississippi, New Madrid, Oregon, Pike, Platte, Eay, Scotland, Shannon, St. Louis, Sullivan, Vernon and Wayne counties. 67. Quereus macrocarpa olivseformis (Michx. f.) A. Gray. Dwarf bur-oak.

TREES, SHRUBS AND VINES OP MISSOURI. 366 70. Quercus Michauxii Nutt. Cow-oak. A lowland species of the southeastern part of the State, where it attains a great height and corresponding girth, and Is very valuable for lumber. It occurs In Bollinger, Butler, Cape Girardeau, Dunklin, New M.adrid and Stoddard counties. 71. Quercus minor (Marsh.) Sargent. Post-oak A very valuable small-sized tree, reaching its greatest development, in and about the Ozark region, where In some places it and the Black-jack oak are the only oaks present. Appears to be absent or very scarce in the northwestern part of the State, as may be seen from the following list of counties, for at present it is known to occur in Adair, Atchison, Barton, Bollinger, Cape Girardeau, Carter, Cedar, Christian, Clark, Dunklin, Greene, Henry, Howard, Howell, Jack- son, Jasper, Jeflferson, Lawrence, Livingston, Madison, McDonald, Newton, Oie- gon, Ripley, Shannon, St. Francois, St. Louis, Texas, Wayne, Webster and Wright connties. This is Quercus stellata Wang. 72. Quercus MuMenbergii Engelm. Chinquapin-oak. A valuable small-sized tree with very hard wood and edible- nuts. Very well known and distributed throughout the State in dry or rocky ground, and is often called Yellow-oak from the yellow inner wood, and Sweet- oak from the edible acorns. It has been found in Andrew, Atchison, Bollinger, Butler, Cape Girardeau, Carroll, Carter, Clark, Clay, Clinton, Dade, Dunklin, Greene, Holt, Howard, Howell, Jackson, Jasper, Jefferson, Livingston, Madison, McDonald, New Madrid, Newton, Oregon. Pike, Platte, Ray, Shannon, St. Fran- cois, St. Louis, Texas, Washington and Wayne counties. Broadhead reported Quercus Prinus from Adair county, and Swallow reported it also from Mississippi county, but the Chinquapin-oak was evidently what they had under considera- tion. 73. Quercus nigra L. Blackjack oak. A small-Sized tree of little value, reaching its greatest devel- 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 of it. 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. Broadhead reported it from Adair and Nodaway counties, but probably erroneously, and Pech is said to have collected it in Pike county. 74. Quercus palustris Du Eoi. Pin-oak. A common species in low land and swampy places, having a range south and east of a line drawn from the northeastern part of the State to the mouthof the Kansas river; apparently absent from the northwestern part of the State. It is found in Adair, Bollinger, Butler, Cape Girardeau, Clark, Dunklin, Greene, Howard, Howell, Jackson, Mississippi, New Madrid, Pemiscot, Pike, Ray, Shannon, St. Louis, Stoddard, Sullivan and Wayne counties. Commonly called Turkey-oak in the Ozark region, but this name belongs to Quercus Cateabcei. 75. Quercus Phellos L. Willowoak. A very valuable tree of the lowlands of the southeastern part of the State, -where it is extensively manufactured into lumber and car-timber. It 366 STATE HOETIOnLTUEAL SOOIBTT. grows in Bollinger, Butler, Dunklin, Madison, Mississippi, New Madrid, Scott and Stoddard counties; was reported from St. Louis by Murtfeldt, but this is probably a mistake. 76. Quercus PhellosX rubra Hollick. Biirtram' 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 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 hjbrid between the Willow-oak and the Scarlet-oak, and as the Scarlet-oak does not extend to the «outheastern part of the State, my Dunklin county specimens could not represent this hybrid. This is perhaps the most interesting oak hybrid we have, and has been the subject of much discussion, and is the Qfiereus heterophylla Mlchx. f. 11. Quercus platanoides (Lam.) Sudw. Swamp white-oak. A large, valuable tree, found mostly north of the Missouri river. It resembles the Bur-oak in appearance of the trunk and leaves, but the acorns are smaller and very long-peduncled ; has been found in Adair, Andrew, Cass, Clark, Daviess, Gentry, Jackson, Madison, Saline, Scotland, Sullivan and Worth counties. This is Quercus bicolor Willd. 78. Quercus prinoides Willd. Prairie-oak— Dwarf Chinquapin-oak. A low bushy species of the prairie re- gions of the State, often found loaded with fruit when only a foot or two high. It is often a serious drawback to the farmer In the clearing of land, as it has a habit of stooling out from the main stem for several yards around. Has been found in Atchison, Holt, Howell, Jackson, Shannon, St. Louis and Stone counties. 79. Quercus rubra L. Red-oak. A very large, valuable tree, distributed over the whole of the State, except perhaps the lowlands of the southeastern part, where it is replaced by the Texas red-oak. It reaches its greatest development and abundance along the Missouri river in the central and western part of the State. It occurs in Adair, Andrew, Atchison, Cedar, Clark, Clay, Clinton, Cole, Holt, Howard, Howell, Jackson, McDonald, Newton, Oregon, Pike, Ray, Scotland, Shannon, ■St. Francois, St. Louis, Wayne, Webster and Wright counties. SO. Quercus rubra runeinata A. D. G. A variety of the Red-oak, which has been found in Miller and St. Louis counties. 81. Quercus Texana Buckley. Texas Red-oak. A large and valuable oak of Texas, which extends up the Mississippi river as far north as St. Louis, and is the prevailing Red-oak of the lowlands of the southeastern part of the State, where it often has a diameter of five to six feet, and a height of from 100 to 175 feet. So far as I know the range of this species, it occurs in Butler, Dunklin, Mississippi, Ripley and St. Louis counties. TREES, SHRUBS AND TINES OF MISSOURI. 367 S2. Quercus velutina Lam. • Black-oak.

A small tree in most parts of the State where it occurs, reaching its greatest development In the lowlands of the southeastern part ■of the State, where it often becomes a tree four feet in diameter and 150 feet in height, and where it is known as Red elm, a name properly belonging to Ulmus pubescens. Its range is chiefly south of the Missouri river, and it does not appear to occur west of aline drawn from Boonville. At present it is only known to ■occur in Bollinger, Butler, Callaway, Cape Girardeau, Carter, Cole, Cooper, Dunklin, Howell, Iron, Madison, McDonald, Mississippi, New Madrid, Ripley, Shannon, St. Francois, Stoddard, Warren and Wayne counties. 84. Ulmus Americana L. White elm. A large, very valuable tree, both for lumber and ornamenal pur- poses. Has a wide range throughout the State, and grows in all kinds of soil. Well- grown trees that are found in river bottoms with tall, straight trunks, are some- times called Hickory elm and Eock elm, a name which properly belongs to Ulmus -racemosa. It is sometimes called Water elm when found in low grounds, and is most difficult to split, while the form called Rock elm splits remarkably.'well. It has been found in Adair, Andrew, Atchison, Buchanan, Butler, Cape Girardeau, Car- ToU, Clark, Clay, Daviess, Dunklin, Greene, Howell, Jackson, Jasper, Lawrence, Madison, McDonald, Newton, Oregon, Pemiscot, Pike, Platte, Ray, Scotland, Shan- non, St. Francois, St. Louis, Stoddard, Washington and Wayne counties. 85.

It occurs in Adair, Atchison, Buchanan, Butler, Clark, Dade, Dunklin, Greene, Holt, Howell, Jackson, Madison, McDonald, Mississippi, Newton, •Oregon, Ripley, Scotland, Shannon, St. Francois, St. Louis, Stoddard and Wayne counties. This is Ulmus fulva Michx. 86. Ulmus racemosa Thomas. Cork elm. Hickory elm. Rock elm. A very valuable large elm, found along streams in several counties in the State, and probably more common than is now known, as it closely resembles the White elm, and only a critical examination 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, tongues, etc. Has been found thus far in Atchison, Boone, Clark, Dunklin, Jack- 60n and Stoddard counties. 368 STATE HOETICULTT7RAL SOCIETY. 87.

Celtis accidentalis pumila (Pursli) A. Gray. Low hackberry. A low shrubby species of hackberry, commonly considered as a variety of the last, but I think it would be better to place it with Geltia Missisaip- pienais. It is found along rocky river banks, mostly in the southern part of the- State. It has been fonnd in Howell, McDonald, Newton, Oregon and St. Louis^ counties. There is a. CeUii in ihe southwestern part of the State that maybe a> new species, but I have been unable to get sufficient material to determine this. MULBERRY FAMILY (MoEAOE^). 91. Morns alba L. White giulberry. Commonly planted for ornament, and formerly for feeding- silk- worms, and has become adventive, according to Tracy. 92. Morus rubra L. Mulberry. A common, well-known, small-sized tree, which is distributed pretty much all over our borders, and which reaches its greatest development in the southeastern part of the State, where trees are frequently met with that are three to four feet in diameter.

Bronssonetia papyrifera L'Her. Paper mulberry. A fast-growing tree, commonly planted for shade in towns- in the lowlands of the foutheastern part of the State. The soil and climate are so congeniai;to its nature that it easily escapes from cultivation, and is found growing in many places naturally. I have observed it only in Dunklin county. This tree is. not quite hardy enough to stand the severe winter we have in ilackson county, but TREES, SHRUBS AND VINES OF MISSOtTRl. 369 there is a tree in Robt. Tindall's yard that has been growing there for ten years or more. Sometimes itjgets killed down by;the frost, but in the spring it will start up afresh, and several times it reached a height of thirty feet or more. For the south- ern part of the State it will prove a valuable ornamental tree. 94. Toxylon pomiferum Eaf. Osage orange.

It grows in Bollinger, Butler, Cape Girardeau, Dunlflin, Madison, Mississippi, New Madrid and Stoddard counties. Wirick reported it from Miller county, but that must have been a mistake. And Murtfeldt reported it from St. Louis county, but this must evidently have been in cultivation. OUSTAED APPLE FAMILY (Anonace^). 103. Asimina triloba ( L. ) Dunal. Comman pawpaw. A well-known tree bearing luseious fruit. This Is a very promising fruit, and with a little trouble may be Improved very much. Dis- tributed over the entire State, but appearing rarely in the northeastern part, reaching its greatest development and abundance in the western part of thcState along the Missouri river, where specimens have been observed that were 20 inches In diameter.

This is the common crab-apple of this State, and is much more -common than is now known!; but until we can distinguish this with certainty from our other crab-apples, we cannot definitely outline its range. This also is not known to have been grown for Its fruit, but is often planted for ornament. At present we know that it grows in Butler, Clark, Daviess, Dunklin, 'Greene, Jack- son, Madison, Miller and Shannon counties. 374: STATE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 134. Pyrus lowensis (Wood) Bailey. Iowa crab-apple. A very promising crab ; much better than either of the pre- ceding ones, and a distinctively western species. Has been found in Jackson, Shannon, St. Louis and Washington counties. Much more common than these lo- calities indicate, but apparently not distinguished from the last species. In thia. species the twigs are large and densely tomentose, as are the leaves also, and the fruit is much larger and covered with a gummy secretion. An abundant bearer, this promises very much to become an important addition to our cultivated fruits. 135. Pyrus Malus L. Common apple. This, or another cultivated species, has been found growing- wild in many places in the State, but at present I am unable to say what it is. This genus and Prunus and Vitis are perhaps the most important to horticul- turists. 136. Pyrns Soulardi Bailey. Soulard crab . Of all our crabs this is the most promising, and has already been cultivated for its fruit, and proved to be of great value. Has been found in St. Louis county, and there is a large crab found in Jackson county in the bot- toms along the Missouri river that is said to be as large as a Little Romanite^ and is much used for making preserves by the country people. I have been unable to secure specimens of this crab here, but it is probable that the Soulard crab ex- tends up the Missouri river bottoms to the western part of the State. 137. AroDia arbutifolia (L.) Ell. Choke-berry. A low shrub, with small, berry-like fruit, which is very astrin- gent. Has been reported from Atchison county by Broadbead, but probably erro- neously. This is Pyrus arbutifolia L. f. 138. Amelanchier Botryapium { L. f.) D. 0. Service-berry . A small tree or bush bearing edible fruit, and which promises to become valuable in the future. It has only been reported from Greene county as yet, but it Is very probable that it is common to many other parts of the State. All the Service-berries are susceptible of great improvement by cultivation. This is Amelanchier Canadensis oblongifolia T . & G . ' 139. Amelanchier Canadensis ( L.) Medic. Service-berry . A larger tree than the last, and appearing much more common, but probabl.y including two or more species as here given ; and until our forms are- carefully studied we cannot with certainty say what species we have, although it is very probable that we have one or two more species than now known. Has been reported from Atchison, Boone, Cape Girardeau, Clark, Greene, Howell, Jack- son, Jefferson, Livingston, Madison, McDonald, Miller, Newton, Oregon, Pike, Ripley, Shannon, St. Charles, St. Louis, Wayne, Webster and Wright counties. Amelanchier Canadensis alnifolia of my Jackson county list was based on a cultivated tree, and should therefore be excluded from the list. 140. Crataegus apiifolia ( Marsh.) Michx, Red-haw.

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.

A. Dumber of other woody plants have been reported and credited to the state, but there is not sufHclent 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. Index to "Trees, Shrubs and Vines."
