Trees Of Past Ages

Seeding trees of species that
represents the vegetation of Florida
100000 years ago, during the glacial
epoch, have been added to the COLI
lection in the New York Botanical
garden as the result of a scientific
tour of the state by DR.. John K.
Small. The trees. which are known as
Torreya, or locally as Savern, belong
to the botanical genus Tumion, and
occur naturally in a small strip Of
territory along the east bank of the
Appalachicola river, in the Florida
panhandle. They occur nowhere else
in the world, though related species
are found in California, Japan and
China. They resemble yew trees in
some ways, and can be cultivated un-
der the same sort Of climatic con-
