Narrative
Full name as recorded at U.S. National Arboretum: Aesculus hippocastanum. Very old single specimen not previously accessioned, growing on Legume Hill to the west of Springhouse Run and southeast of the old Maclura pomifera. Evidence strongly suggests that it predates the Arboretum, and was most likely planted by Col. William Hickey (this would have been near his home/mansion, not far to the south and east, and probably visible from the back windows; at least it would have been easily seen from the backyard.) [Addendum 8/7/2019: Ivar Tidestrom collected a herbarium specimen on May 10, 1923 (Tidestrom 11329) documented as "Planted at old mansion" at the Mount Hamilton tract, which later became the U.S. National Arboretum. This is doubtless the same tree. It is deposited at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History with their barcode number 00221373 and catalog number 1769380 in the DC Flora special collection.] Form received: unknown propagule type.
