THE WALKUT. 339 As these Japanese and Chinese walnuts are natives of cold climates they may be better adapted to the North- ern than Southern States, but there is no locality en- tirely exempt from late spring frosts, as most farmers and fruit growers learned to their cost the past season. There can be little doubt of this species of walnut being the one described by Rhumphius under the name of /. Camirium, and more fully later by Loureiro, as already noted ; but having come to us from Japan as Siebold's walnut, this name will answer as well as any other, even if it is not the proper one. JuGLAKS coRDiroKMis, Maxim.—In foliage and growth of tree this is almost, if not absolutely, identical with the last; the difference observed is in the nuts, which are also pro- duced in pendulous clusters. The form of the nut is almost round (Fig. 86), rather blunt-pointed, but the shell is deeply and unevenly fur- rowed, and indented somewhat like our black walnut; the ridges, how- ever, are not as sharp. The speci- mens I have received from various ^j^ gg jugi^ans sources are not as large as the Sie- cordifokmis. bold, and the shell not quite as thick, but the kernel is small. I may note here that there appears to be some confusion in regard to this variety or species, for in sev- eral nurserymen's catalogues this form of nut is figured as Siebold's, and the one that I have described under that name is called Gordiformis. The specimens re- ceived from California, Japan,'and also from Mr. Berck- mans, correspond with the names here given, but further investigations may show that they should be reversed. The one I have received as Gordiformis is, doubtless, the nut described by Loureiro as /. Gatappa, as an ovate-oblong nut, with a fibrous, leathery, reddish Please note that these images are extracted from sca
