  — 
  Hab. 
  On 
  the 
  prairies 
  of 
  

   Red 
  river. 
  A 
  species 
  bearing 
  some 
  resemblance 
  to 
  U.

  much 
  

   more 
  nearly 
  related

  of 
  Siberia. 
  — 
  Obs. 
  A 
  tree 
  of 
  moderate 
  

   magnitude, 
  crowded 
  with 
  small, 
  thick 
  and 
  opaque 
  scabrous 
  leaves 
  and 
  

   intricate 
  spreading 
  branches, 
  affording 
  a 
  dense 
  shade, 
  and 
  of 
  a 
  very 
  

   deep 
  verdure. 
  The 
  leaves 
  are 
  moreover 
  somewhat 
  pubescent 
  beneath, 
  

   scarcely 
  an 
  inch 
  long, 
  and 
  about 
  five 
  lines 
  wide, 
  with 
  the 
  margin 
  for 
  

   the 
  most 
  part 
  simply 
  serrated 
  and 
  the 
  serratures 
  obtuse.

  I
