Barb,

Sorry. I misunderstood your prevoius post.

Last summer (or was it 2 summers ago?) I had nothing better to do so was browsing Audobon's Field Guide to North American Trees along with a Golden Books Trees of North America. About that time, the U.S. Census dude showed up at the door. He asked a few questions and I, being a Great American, dutifully answered. The talk somehow turned to trees. He commented the "________" is the only tree with genus and species names the same. I had just noted the same thing while reading. Now, alas, I cannot rememmber the tree, hence the question. No way can I track down the census taker, so I thought WCers might come to the rescue.
