As a class, our Native American Evergreens are without doubt far beyond compari- 
son with those of foi'eign countries, possessing unrivaled characteristics of gracefulness, 
grandeur or color. Our Alleghany region, while claiming possibly fewer species than the 
Western and Pacific states, is yet rich in beautiful forms, and we can boast of at least 
one distinct new species of conifer, found nowhere else, and here only very locally, 
namely, the Carolina Hemlock {Tsuga CaroUntana). Below we give a short description 
of each in proper order:
