Discussion
The most southern locality of Carya laciniosa is an outlier from Hardin County, Texas. Carya laciniosa hybridizes with C. illinoinensis (C. ×nussbaumeri Sargent) and C. ovata (C. ×dunbarii Sargent), and possibly C. cordiformis.
Cherokee Indians used Carya laciniosa medicinally as an analgesic, a gastrointestinal aid, and a general disease remedy (D. E. Moerman 1986).
