Oregon and California in 1848 . in the United States; that of thewhite is a compound leaf, wherein a single petiole hasseveral leaflets attached to each side of it oppositely,while that of the yellow is only on the upper balsam is like that found elsewhere in all its threespecies. Yellow and Norway pine are natives westof the Cascades of the Columbia. White pine is alsoa native in several places west of the Rocky Moun-tains. The yew is very scarce, but is found amongthe evergreen trees. The cedar grows to a greatheight, is abundant and valuable. I have seen manythat were at least seven feet in diameter. Black andwhite oaks are found, the former in the mountains, thelatter in the forests upon the plains and hills west ofthe Presidents Range. The common aspen, balm,and cotton poplars are also found. The commonaspen and cotton are the same as those which growin the States. The balm grows in fertile sections ofthe country, and has its leaves ovated. The willow,in all its species, is common to the country. There. feSa^^^il i iiVi
