(c) Branch from young tree (col.6-13) has stipules (or pairs, they are bud scales) 1/2 x 3 mm. These before falling become involute narrowly linear as seen in (a) 1/6/7 6-12-38 ?? Corylus rostrata Ait G 338; BUBI 607 See Niles 454. No leafs. At western edge of lawn, 2nd growth from old root. Collected because it looked like Corylus (ie C. wiffl). Ill. Niles strengthens the suspicion. Stipules broadly ovate, 6mm long, flat against stem, entire. Petioles hairy. 150 glands. 6-12-38 Ulmus [see 6-15-38 (a) From trunk of tree at end of dumps. (b) Tree roadside southward, perhaps beyond the 2 willows, col. 6-9 (c) Tree corner of drive or road, turning north. Col 6-15-38 All these agree in: Twigs (new growth) def pubescent even last yrs twigs not glabrous; buds all bear brown hairs; ls finely pubescent beneath and rough above with hairs leaving enlarged bases (in bright light lf. looks as tho covered with very fine dots), ls not as strongly inequilateral as expected for U. americana... This all suggests either U. fulva or Uracemosa v, since no corky ridged branches have been observed, leaves only U. fulva Niels G 342, BUBI 627 But ls not frequent when drying (BUB Curtis) and
