Loblolly Pine, Oldfield Pine (Pinus taeda) . — This is a large 

 pine with cones four inches long and leaves five and a half or more 

 inches in length. Its habitat is the sandy region along the South 

 Atlantic Coast and Texas. In the interior it reaches Arkansas and 

 Eastern Tennessee. It is not common in Kentucky, if it occurs at 

 all now, but may be looked for in the mountains of the southeastern 

 part of the State. It is listed by DeFriese in his Geological Survey 

 Report, but some doubt applies to his determination, since it hai 

 not been encountered by other more thorogoing botanists.

 land Mountains and is not to be seen elsewhere, except in cultiva- 

 tion. It has been observed in the following counties :

Table Mountain Pine (Pinits pungens). — This small pine oc- 

 curs in the Cumberland Mountains of Southeastern Kentucky. Its

 of an inch in length. Recorded by DeFriese. It is common in East- 

 ern Tennessee, according to Dr. Gattinger.
