The cones are large and armed with strong spines. The © _ 
cone figured ¢. 16. f. c, in Lambert. monogr. is ge-

* April, May. v.v. The Loblolly or Old-field Pine is 
found in large tracts in the southern states : all the 
woods seem to be seeded with it; for when any piece 
of cleared land is neglected for any space of time 1t 
will be covered with those pines. It is difficult and in 
some cases almost impracticable to recover those lands ~ 
run over with young pines, as the ground appeat i 
have lost all fertile properties for any other vegéta-  — 
ble than those trees. The account Mr. Michaux gives _ 
of this tree is very correct and instrüctive ; as also is

In the forests, near the sea-coast: North Carolina to 
Florida. W. May. v.v. The Long-leaved, Yellow, 
Pitch, or Broom Pine is a beautiful as well as very 
useful tree, Mr. Lambert’s remarks respecting the 
quality of the wood he has taken from Wangen- — 
heim, whom he considers sufficient authority; but — 
on the observations of Michaux respeiging the malé — 
flowers, he mentions in his note, ** I can only suppose 
Mr. Michaux has never seen my plate with the male 
flowers, or he never would have made such an obser- 
vation about them.”
