1 Sprout. 



It was found growing on a variety of soils, ranging from gray 

 sand underlaid with hardpan to rocky limestone. None of the speci- 

 mens examined have been planted in soil suitable to the species, and 

 many entirely outside of its climatic range. The measurements 

 therefore give only an approximate idea of what the species can do 

 under suitable conditions. (See PL II, fig. 2, and PL V.) 



In the plantations of the Paulista Railroad Co., in Brazil, trees 

 of this species attained in three years a height of 33 feet and 6,4 

 inches in diameter; trees 4 years old, planted when only 12 inches 

 high, had a height of from 52 to 56 feet and a diameter of 9.5 inches. 



While it grows on a variety of soils, it prefers low, wet situations, 

 and does not do so well in deep, dry sand or where there is a hardpan
