TOUR DETAILS James also described a “Prunus” with “leaves alternate obliquely cordate” and peduncles axillary solitary one flowered” (qtd. 319). This species was in fact Celtis reticulata, a somewhat scraggly deciduous tree still found on the rocky slopes and canyon bottoms of southeastern Colorado. The foliage of this tree is often infected with insect galls, which are considered relatively harmless to the tree.
