LIQUIDAMBAR L. L. STYRACiFluA L. Sweet-gum. Alligator-wood. Rich woods. The distribution of this species in the State according to my notes of travel is, from east to west, as follows : Beginning near the source of Peter Creek, in Nich olas county, it follows that stream to its junction with the Gauley River, down this to its confluence with the New River to form the Great Kanawha, which latter it follows to the mouth of Elk River, whence it bears northward up Eight Mile Creek to the Pocotaligo and its Middle Fork, across to Mill Creek in Jackson, which it follows to the Ohio. It is also noted in Gilmer: near Glenville (Mapel). Fay ette: near Kanawha Falls (James) ; near Nuttallburg (Nutt all). Cabell: near Huntington (Selby). I have also met with it in Summers : near Hinton ; and along the Greenbrier River in that county.
