Description

Pressed specimen of another hickory. This one called "bitter-nut" by Sturgeon. He says that no hickorys grow on the island except these two. "Bitter-nut" he says can be used for basket handles and rims but, since it breaks easier, it is not used if "shell-bark" can be obtained (from Volney Jones' 1933 field notes, Field no. 7).
