In Illinois, it is found on the bottomlands of the large rivers, and is limited in its distribution practically to the southern third of the State. Two specimens have been taken from Pike County, perhaps from the same tree, the locality given for them being on the Mississippi bottomland in the extreme northwest corner of the county. This represents, in comparison with our other records, not only the most northerly station for the tree but also a rather remarkable norlhward extension of its range. In the Cache River bottomlands in Massac County, the Sugarberry grows with ash, Elm, Pin and Swamp Spanish oaks. Soft Maple, Red and Black gums, and hickory—a list which does not differ greatly from that of the Hackberry.
