From Flora of Indiana (1940) by Charles C. Deam
I have found this species as an escape in a few counties and it has been reported from Monroe County. I found several large trees in Clifty Creek Valley in Jefferson County. Miss Edna Banta writes me that it is a more or less frequent tree on the wooded bluffs of the Ohio River from Brooksburg to Madison in Jefferson County.
