PINUS 



1061. Banksiana, Lambert. 



In the western part of the State, noticed as far south as Newaygo. 

 "Sand Pt., Saginaw Bay, and northward along the shore of L. Huron, not 

 common."— Winch. Cat. In the Central part of the State this pine la first 

 seen in the northern part of Clare Co.(!}, where it Is common in groves 

 on sandy barrens. In the S. E. township of Missaukee Oo., along the 

 -west bank of the Muskegon river, occurs u barren terrace, abont Ave 

 miles long by two wide, which is covered with groves oi' this pine in all 



stages of growth from seedlings to line shapely trees BO I I feel in 



height, and 12 to 14 inches in diameter. The groves were QOl dense, bat 

 orchard-like, and disposed without regularity. There was little under- 

 growth except occasionally a few Bana-cherrfes, stunted service b 

 and the rare alpine, three-toothed cinquefoiL The ground waa barely 

 carpeted with tufts of panic grass (/'. depauperation, L.,) bird-foot Violet, 

 and bear berry. 



1062. resinosa, Ait. 



Dry woods. First noticed in IsabellaCo., in ccnterof the L. 1'.; reryabund- 

 ant in Clare Co.(!), and northward. "Frequent on low, sandy plains in 

 U. P., where it forms orchard-like groves."— Whitnev. Usually 100-llu 

 feet high. 



White Pine. 1063> Strobus, L. 



Tli. 



Ranges from at least Mason, Ingham Co., in the center of tin' "-Lite, north- 

 ward. Follows the shore of L. Michigan to the Indiana line, usually 

 3 to 4 feet in diameter and 100 feet high, but often larger. Furnishes 

 the pine lumber of commerce. The tallest white pine we fua 

 was 134 feet, and the largest diameter, scant 6 feet. Much taller and 

 larger specimens are reported by lumbermen. The annual production 

 of pine lumber in Michigan for the last decade has exceeded 2,000,000,000 

 feet. Yet, in spite of this enormous consumption, it is safe to say that 

 Michigan still contains more valuable pine than any like area in North 

 America. The lumber interest alone enriches the .State something like 

 540,000,000 a year.
