What Has Changed in the Last Century
The walnut family is still recognised under the same name, and the 1921 description of trees with alternate pinnate leaves, male catkins and female terminal clusters is essentially what a modern botany text says. Two things have moved. Collier's called the order "chiefly found in North America"; the family is now understood to be widely spread through eastern and southern Asia as well, with roughly ten genera and some sixty species, among them Pterocarya (the wingnuts) and Engelhardia beside Juglans and Carya; and the Victorian label "exogenous" has vanished, the family now being placed among the wind-pollinated Fagales alongside the birches, beeches and oaks on molecular evidence gathered since the 1990s. The butternut singled out at the end of the entry has fared worst of all: Juglans cinerea has been killed across most of its range by an introduced canker fungus recognised in the 1960s, and is now treated as an endangered tree in Canada. Note that the printed text here is badly jumbled, with lines from the neighbouring entries on Harry Pratt Judson and Juggernaut run into it.
