 90 species of indigenous trees and three exotics which have escaped from 

 cultivation.

 the forests of Great Britain. Great Britain and Ireland contain 121,260

 one maple not over twenty feet high ; one cherry from ten to twenty feet 

 high; one small ash, two elms, two poplars, one beech, which grows very
