I have not seen it in the district of Maine, the States of New Hampshire and Vermont, nor beyond Utica in Gennessee. In the Northern Stales it is confounded with the Red Oak, and in those of the South, with the Spanish Oak. The name of Scarlet Oak was given it by my father, and, though not in use among the inhabitants, it will probably be adopted, as the tree is evidently a distinct species.
