Text Appearing Before Image:
dry, woody, ovoidcapsule succeeds the flower. In it are 2 to 8 square, wingedseeds. The tree thrives in cultivation, though at best it is shortlived. A handsome specimen blossoms freely in the ArnoldArboretum at Boston. The Franklinia (G. Altamaha, Sarg.) is a tree rarely seenover 15 to 20 feet high now. Its flowers, larger than those of theloblolly bay, open in September. The leaves resemble those ofthe other species in form, but are deciduous, and notable fortheir splendid scarlet in autumn. The fruit is globular and theseeds not winged. In 1790 William Bartram found this tree growing in grovesalong the Altamaha River. Specimens were sent to John Bart-rams garden in Philadelphia, and from there were introduced 399 The Gordonias into cultivation. Strangely, no succeeding explorer has everfound the trees growing wild, though careful search has beenmade to rediscover them. The only specimens known are ingardens, lineal descendants and sole representatives of thoseBartram described. 400
