In Louis-iana it is called Cypre orCypres, and in the ancientSouthern States Cypress,and sometimes 5a7(Z names of Black andWJiite Cypress, in the Car-olinas and Georgia, arefounded only on the qualityand color of the banks of Indian River,a small stream that waters apart of Delaware in latitude 38^ 50, may be assumed as itsnorthern boundary. Hence in proceeding southward, it becomesconstantly more abundant in the swamps; but in Maryland andVirginia it is confined to the vicinity of the sea, where the winter. PLATE 1. A leaf. Fig. 2.

Beyond Norfolk itslimits coincide exactly with those of the pine-barrens, and in theCarolinas and Georgia it occupies a great part of the swampswhich border the rivers after they have found out their way fromamong the mountains and have entered the low lands. TheMississippi, from its mouth to the river of the Arkansas, is borderedwith marshes, which at the annual overflowing of this mightystream, form a vast expanse of waters. In Louisiana those partsof the marshes where the cypress grows almost alone are calledCyprieres, cypress swamps, and they sometimes occupy thousandsof acres. In the swamps of the Southern States and the Floridas, onwhose deep, miry soil a new layer of vegetable mould is everyyear deposited by the floods, the cypress attains its ut
