It is common in West Tennessee and in the upper part of the Carolinas and of Georgia; but it is still more abundant within the limits which I have as- signed to the pine^barrenSf where the soil is light and the winter less rigorous than at a greater distance from the sea. This tree is known only by the name of Sweet Leaf. It varies iu size according to the situation in which it grows: on the banks of the Savannah and on the borders of. the large swamps, where the soil is deep, loose and fer- tile, I have seen it s 5 or So feet high and 7 or 8 inches in diameter at the height of 5 feet. Commonly it does not exceed half these dimensions, and in the pine-bar' rens, where it is profusely multiplied, it is sometimes only 3 or 4 feet in height. The sprouts from the trunks consumed in the annual conflagration of the forests never surpass this height, and, as they do not fructify, the tree is multiplied by its running roots, which shoot at the distance of a few feet. tf '^.
