notes:
|
Liquidambar styraciflua or sweet gum tree is native to eastern North America from Massachusetts to Texas. André Michaux and his son François-André were sent in 1785 by the French government to study the forest resources of North America. The French hoped to reforest their own country. François-André returned a few years later, also with a commission from the French government, and produced the Histoire des arbres forestiers ... Paris, 1810-13.
