 cone figured t. \Q. f.c. in Lambert, monogr. is ge-

 April, May. v. v. The Lollolly 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 it 

 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 tlie ground appears to 

 have lost all feitile propenies for any other vegeta- 

 ble than those trees. The account Mr. Michaux gives 

 of this tree is very correct and instructive ; as also is 

 the plate of Mr. Lambert; but unfortunately the lat- 

 ter, considering P. tcpda JVangh. ainer. 41. a genuine 

 synonym, although it evidently belongs to P. rigida 

 or serotina, has inadvertently been led into some 

 errors in his description.

In the forests, near the sea-coast : North Carolina to 

 Florida. ^ . 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 w^ood he has taken from Wangen- 

 heim, whom he considers sufficient authority ; but 

 on the observations of Michaux respecting the male 

 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 thern."
