.862 SPECIES OF FOREST
TREES I'm REVISED LIST

There are S62 species of forest
trees in this country, according to
the revised check list of the for
est trees of the United States" just
issued by the Forest Service, United
States Department of Agriculture.
If the different varieties and hy-
birds were added, the total of the
different forms of forest trees
would reach 1,177.
OF all the trees that make up our
forests, 1872 species are of special
interest because of the commercially
useful timber or other products
they supply, the publication points
out. However, it is indicated that
the number of important species
can not remain constant, changing
from time to time with the develop
ment of commercial needs.
The previous check list of trees,
compiled % years ago, listed but
604 different trees. The enormous
increase in the number of trees that
have become known since that time
is due to the addition of newly dis
covered trees and the separation of
tree species that previously were
not distinguished from each other.
In the new edition each of the diff
ferent trees is distinguished by its
proper technical name and by the
common name adopted by the For
est Service. Each species is also
accompanied by a list of all COM
mon names known to be applied to
it in different parts of its range.
1t has long been the endeavor of
the Forest Service to standardize
the common names of trees, so thai
not only the trees as they are met
with in the forests, but the lumber
cut from these trees, shall be
known by these James The impor-
lance in trade relations of such
Standardization of common names
can not be overestimated. Failure
to use standard common names for
important timber trees and their
woods has led to troublesome and
expensive litigation.
THE n great object of all
books on our trees says the pub
LEGATION. lis to acquaint the public
with the different trees we have
and the names by which they are
known. If the present confusion
of common names of trees can be
ended by general agreement on
standard names for the different
species. this object will be obtained
more speedily"
Appended to the. check list is a
brief discussion of the principles
which have been followed in select
ing distinctive common names for
different forest trees. These p.in.
ciples discourage the use of ambig-
uous and misleading names, partic-
ularly with reference to the names
applied to woods. A list is given OF
