Remarks

[“March 18. . . P. M. – To Fair Haven Hill . . . eight or ten rods off I noticed an evergreen shrub with the aspect or habit of growth of the juniper, but, as it was in the woods, I already suspected it to be what it proved, the American yew, already strongly budded to bloom. This is a capital discovery.” Journal 10: 302, 306. 1858. Date on specimen evidently incorrect.]
