Material from Daniel Hinkley's Vietnam collection, presumably grown from seeds collected from a now-mature plant of direct wild origin in Hinkley's garden, Windcliff, being sold there under field collection number DJHV 10039. It is not clear from the information available whether any hybridization could have occurred at Windcliff. From Hinkley's locally available catalog listing (in 2025): "Exceptional in both rarity and ornament, this horse chesnut from northern Vietneam presents a lovely globe-shaped habit of growth to 35ft, clad with deciduous, finely textured palmate foliage and, in due time, erect racemes of white flowers pollinated by swallowtails, resulting in amazingly large conkers, the size of a childs head.

Three old plants growing closely-spaced in a row west of the old Quercus glauca (Q. myrsinifolia) and south of a line of Abies (firma?) in the old Holly Research Nursery; trees are close together in a row, with the middle tree very small (possibly dying) due to overcrowding.

36NA 85680NA 85680Aesculus hippocastanum L. NANot Available2023Cultivated materialFull 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.2154316NA 85680

The underlying geology of this area is the Jackson Group undifferentiated. The units of the Jackson Group are the Yazoo Clay and Crystal River and Moodys Branch Formations. Descriptions of the members of the Yazoo Clay follow in descending order. Shubuta Member - in western Alabama consists of light-greenish-gray to white plastic fossiliferous, calcareous clay containing irregular calcareous nodules. From the Tombigbee River eastward, the Shubuta becomes more calcareous and grades into massive clayey glauconitic limestone. Eastward from the Alabama River, equivalent beds grade into the Crystal River Formation. Pachuta Marl Member - light-greenish-grey glauconitic, fossiliferous clayey sand and sandy limestone traceable from western Alabama eastward to Covington County where it grades into the Crystal River Formation. Cocoa Sand Member - yellowish-gray firm calcareous, fossiliferous fine to medium sand or sandy limestone or greenish-grey micaceous, calcareous, very clayey sand. Calcareous and clayey sand equivalent to the Cocoa is traceable from western Alabama to the Conecuh River area. Wild material2138699WLP 2589

Lance; 2009 by G. Barrett; and 2017 by J. Chauncey, D. Gunn III, and J. Killion. All collection events were centered around the bluffs and ravines on the eastern side of the Savannah River in Aiken County, South Carolina. Aesculus parviflora is endemic to Alabama, southwest Georgia, and known only to occur in one county (Aiken County) in South Carolina (Chauncey and Gunn, 2017). This provenance is disjunct from the nearest known populations in Georgia and Alabama by nearly 300 km population and is discussed in length by R. Wyatt (1985). Materials provided R. Lance and G. Barrett are representative of isolated regenerations (pollen from outside sources of A. parviflora excluded) in cultivation and materials provided by J. Chauncey et al. represent samples collected as divisions at collection sites (Riverview Park Recreation Center and Savannah River Bluffs Heritage Preserve) in nature. A. parviflora is the last of all Aesculus species to flower, typically occurring in mid-summer and is typically found in rich, moist woodlands under partial or full shade, as a dense, suckering multi-stemmed shrub reaching 1 to 4 meters tall. 1910573NA 76639

Nine seedlings from this collection were planted at various locations in the arboretum. One of the plants, installed near Holden's Wildflower Garden, was more compact and branching in habit and bore darker green leaves than the rest. When this plant began to flower, we were surprised because, while each of the other seedlings bore the pale yellow blooms of Aesculus flava, the flowers of this specimen were reddish. Additional study has convinced us that this plant is a hybrid of A. flava with red buckeye, A. pavia, the name for which is Aesculus x hybrida. But how could this happen? Red buckeye is not native to Ohio. How did a grain of A. pavia pollen get to a flower of A. flava? A paper (DEPamphilis and Wyatt, 1989) that discusses a zone of natural Aesculus hybrids in the southeastern U.S. suggests that pollen can be transferred from the flowers of one species to another by migrating hummingbirds, even when the ranges of the species do not overlap. Reddish flowered individuals attributed to Aesculus flava have been found on several occasions, and a variety, virginica was published for these. In A Natural History of Trees (Peattie, 1948), D.C. Peattie states that this form was first discovered in West Virginia by George Washington, who planted several specimens at Mount Vernon. On a spring visit to Mount Vernon a few years ago, I observed trees 30 to 40 feet in height labelled Aesculus octandra (synonymous with flava) var. virginica, the flowers of which were very similar to those of the tree at Holden. The color of the flowers of the tree at Holden can vary, appearing reddish one year, and more orange another. Another asset of this plant is that its leaves are free of leaf blotch and scorch, remaining clean and dark green into the fall. Although in flower it is not as showy as Aesculus x carnea, its appearance the rest of the season is much more acceptable.1706126Ames 28163
