About Hudson's Bay and on high mountains of New 

 York and Pensylvania. 1^ . May. v. v. The Red 

 Larch resembles the preceding, and both have been 

 considered as one species bv Michaux j but they are 

 specifically and constantly ditferent ; I never saw them 

 both growing in the same place, or even near one an- 

 other. Mr. Lambert likewise observes that they have 

 always kept distinct, when raised from seed.
