The cones are large and armed with strong spines. The 
cone figured t. 16. f. c. in Lambert, vionogr. is ge- 
nuine, but the branch belongs to a separate species.

in barren and sandy situations: Virginia to Florida. Tj , 
April, May. v. v. The Loblolly or Old-field Pine is 
found in large tracts in the southern states : all the 
woods seem to be seeded with it 5 for when any piece 
of cleared land is neglected for any space of time it 
will be covered with those pines, it is difficult and in 
some cases almost impracticable to recover those lands 
run over with young pines, as the ground appears to 
have lost all fertile properties for any other vegeta- 
ble than those trees. 1 he account Mr. Michaux gives 
of this tree is very correct and instructive ; as also is 
the plate of Mr. Lambert; but unfortunately the lat- 
ter, considering P. taeda Wangh. amer. 41. a genuine 
synonym, although it evidently belongs to P. rigida 
or serotina, has inadvertently been led into some 
errors in his description.

In the forests, near the sea-coast : North Carolina to 
Florida. T? • May. v. v. The Long-leaved , Yellow y 
Pitch , or Broom Pine is a beautiful as well as very 
useful tree. Mr. Lambert’s remarks respecting the 
quality of the' wood he has taken from Wangen- 
heim, whom he considers sufficient authority ; but 
on the observations of Michaux respecting the male 
flowers, he mentions in his note, fe I can only suppose 
Mr. Michaux has never seen my plate with the male 
flowers, or he never would have made such an obser- 
vation about them.”
