Frutex Virginianus trifolius, Ulmi samaris; Banisteri

These Trees usually grow to the Height of twelve or fifteen Feet with a Trunk as big as one's Leg, having a pale greenish smooth Bark. Its Leaves are trifoliate, set on long Footstalks. The Flowers grow in spiked Bunches, many of them together, each Flower having four white Petals, and are succeeded by Bunches or Clusters of Seeds.

These Trees grow on the upper Parts of the Savannah River in Carolina, and no where that ever I saw in the lower inhabited Parts of the Country.
