106 SILVA OF NORTH AMERICA. 
a nomen nudum, and the author of the species is David Don, who described this tree in the second volume of Lam- 
bert’s Genus Pinus, published in 1824, his description being based on a specimen collected by Née (see viii. 25) 
and preserved in the British Museum. Née’s specimen is ascribed to New Spain, but, as Dr. Masters points out, 
this is clearly an error in the inscription on the label as there is no Thuya in Mexico, and Née in his voyage with 
Malaspina also visited different parts of the northwest coast. Malaspina’s voyage extended from 1789 to 1794, 
when he arrived on his return in Cadiz, so that it is Née who discovered this tree and not Menzies, who was not at 
Nootka Sound until 1796. The Zhuya plicata of northwestern America discovered by Née and subsequently by 
Menzies must not be confounded with the Thuya plicata of gardens, which is a form of Thuya occidentalis of 
eastern America. 
Libocedrus decurrens, x. 135. Extend range eastward in southern Oregon to the eastern slope of the 
Cascade Mountains, where it is common above the shores of Upper Klamath Lake at elevations of about twenty- 
two hundred feet and where it does not grow to a large size. On the Warner Range still farther east it grows in 
the Yellow Pine belt, but it is not common and rarely forms a trunk exceeding two feet in diameter (C. Hart 
Merriam, in Jitt.). Extend range in California to the Santa Lucia Mountains, to Mt. San Carlos near New Idria 
in San Benito County, and to the San Rafael Mountains in Santa Barbara County, where it was found in May, 
1894, at elevations of five thousand feet above the sea by Dr. F. Franceschi. 
Sequoia, x. 139. Emend description of the fruit to read “ maturing during its first or second season.” The 
fruit of Sequoia sempervirens appears always to ripen during one season, but in the case of Sequoia Wellingtoma, 
which flowers early in the year, the young cone grows during the first season to about half its full size and, beginning 
to grow again late in the winter or in very early spring, attains its full size in May, when the seeds are ready to 
germinate, although the cones do not open naturally until August or September after the hot dry season. (See 
Sargent, Garden and Forest, x. 514, f. 66.) 
Pinus quadrifolia, xi. 43. Extend range in California to the desert slopes of the Santa Rosa Mountains, 
Riverside County, where it is abundant at an elevation of five thousand feet above the level of the sea and where 
it has been found by Mr. H. M. Hall. (See Erythea, vii. 89.) 
Pinus clausa, xi. 127. Extend range southward along the east coast of Florida to five or six miles south of 
New River or Fort Lauderdale. 
Pinus glabra, xi. 181. Extend range to central Mississippi, where it is common on the low wooded borders 
of streams and swamps, and to the swamps adjacent to Bayou Phalia, eastern Louisiana. 
Pinus divaricata, xi. 147. Extend range to the eastern slope of Green Mountain, Mount Desert Island, 
Maine, where it was found by Mr. E. L. Rand in July, 1898. (See Rhodora, i. 135.) 
Larix Americana, xii. 7. Extend range southward to Preston County, West Virginia, where in May, 1897, 
it was found by Professor A. D. Hopkins near Cranesville at an elevation of about twenty-three hundred and sixty 
feet above the level of the sea growing in a sphagnum-covered swamp. (See 10th Ann. Rep. West Virginia Agric. 
Exp. Stat. 50.) 
Larix Lyallii, xii. 15. Extend range southward in the United States along the continental divide, where it 
has been found to extend in many scattered colonies, to the neighborhood of Camp Creek Pass at the head of the 
middle fork of Sun River. Here it forms a pure forest of considerable extent at an elevation of from seven 
thousand to eight thousand feet above the sea-level, and was found by Mr. H. B. Ayres in August, 1899; and to 
Pend d’Oreille Pass between the waters of the Clearwater River and those of the west fork of the south fork of the 
Flathead River, where it was found at an elevation of seven thousand feet by Mr. Ayres in September, 1899. 
Picea Mariana, xii. 28. Extend range as far north as least at the valley of the Klondike in the Yukon 
Territory, where it is very common from the Yukon valley as far west as the west bank of White River at a point 
two hundred and twelve miles above the mouth of that stream, and where it was first noticed in 1899 by Mr. Mar- 
tin W. Gorman. “ West of the Yukon it occurs in all wet marshy localities and is to be found growing over buried 
glaciers wherever they occur in that region, but I did not observe it anywhere on the rich bottom-lands along the 
immediate banks of the Yukon. It is a much smaller tree than the White Spruce, seldom reaching eighty feet in 
height or producing a trunk exceeding twelve inches in diameter. Owing to the scarcity of timber it is sometimes 
cut and makes better lumber and fuel than the White Spruce, as it is darker, harder, and closer-grained.” (Gorman, 
in litt.) 
Picea Canadensis, xii. 87. Extend range southward in Wisconsin through the northern part of the state. 
(Teste L. S. Cheney.) 
Tsuga Canadensis, xii. 63. In Wisconsin the southern station of the Hemlock is in Iowa County in the
