Long-leaved or Georgia Pine (Pitius palusiris). — Altho De- 

 Friese includes this as a Kentucky species, its distribution outside 

 Kentucky renders his determination doubtful. Xo one else so far 

 as I know claims to have seen it so far north. Even Gattinger fail* 

 to mention it as a Tennessee plant. If here it will probably be 

 found in the vicinity of Pound Gap, where DeFriese claims to have 

 observed it. 



Hemlock (Tsuga canadensis). — A large tree, sometimes seven- 

 ty-five feet in height, common in shaded ravines in the mountains 

 of Eastern Kentucky, and occurring westward locally aloi 

 River to Edmonson County, and then northward in gullies well to- 

 ward the Ohio River.

 found wild only in swamps, but occurring locally along the Ohio 

 River, becoming common in the bottoms of the Mississippi on the 

 The small, light green leaves are shed in the fall. The 

 cones are small, globular, with the peculiar scales meeting at the 

 edges. Produces a valuable lumber much used in hothouse con- 

 struction. Several transplanted tret- of medium size an- 

 on premises about Lexington. They do well, excepting during 

 very dry seasons from which they suffer more than most other trees.
