LODGEPOLE PINE. 
Lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta) is a slow-growing tree dispersed 
over much of the regions between the Rocky Mountains and the 
Pacific coast. It is inclined to take possession of tracts laid bare by 
fire, where it grows in heavy stands.

MINOR SPECIES. 
Some of the species listed in Table 34 are native, others foreign. 
_Logs of the latter are brought to this country and are converted 
into lumber at sawmills located in the States designated in the table. 
Mahogany (Swietenta mahagont) comes from tropical America. 
Other woods passing for mahogany come from Africa, South America, 
India, and the Philippines. 
Cherry (Prunus serotina) grows in western New York, Pennsylvania, 
and southward among the mountains, and westward to the States 
beyond the Mississippi. . 
Buckeye (4’sculus octandra) is the common tree cut for lumber 
of this name. It is often known as yellow buckeye. Ohio buckeye 
(4sculus glabra) is occasionally cut for lumber; but the buckeye 
‘lumber frequently goes to market as ‘“‘poplar saps,” or as the sap- | 
wood of yellow poplar. , 
Locust (Robima pseudacacia) has been widely planted, but its 
natural range lies in the region from Pennsylvania to Georgia. 
Honey locust (Gleditsia tricanthos) and water locust (Gleditsia aqua- 
tica) are sometimes listed as locust lumber in mill yards. Both are 
most plentiful south of the Ohio River and west of the mountains. 
Black willow (Sahz nigra) is the principal one of several willows 
occasionally sawed into lumber. It is best developed in the lower 
Mississippi Valley. . 
Cucumber (Magnolia acuminata) occurs from New York to Illinois 
and south to Alabama and Arkansas. 
Magnolia (Magnolia fetida) is the tree known in the South as 
evergreen or laurel-leafed magnolia. The magnolia lumber of com- 
merce is usually cut from this species, though there are three or four 
kindred species in the South which are sawed in small amounts.
