It is found in swampy situations, as far north as lat. 65°, where it terminates, together with the Betula
papyracea.

The Meenahic of the Crees is the most northerly tree that came under our observation. On the Gopper-
Mine River, within.twenty-miles of the Arctic Sea, and in lat. 67§°, it attains the height of twenty feet or
more. Its timber is in common use throughout the country, and its slender roots, denominated Watapeh,
are indispensable to canoe-makers for sewing the . slips of birch-bark together. The resin which it exudes
is used for paying over the seams of the canoes, and canoes for temporary purposes are frequently formed of
its own bark. It is the only tree that the Esquimaux of the Arctic Sea have access to while growing, and
they contrive to make pretty strong bows by joining pieces of its wood together with the sinews of the
Rein-deer.
397. P. banksiana, Lambert. Monogr. p. 7. t. 3. Pursh. ii. p. 642. (W.)
This tree occupies dry sandy soils to the exclusion of all others. It is a handsome tree, with long
spreading flexible branches, generally furnished with whorled curved cones of many years’ growth. It attains
the height of forty feet and upwards in favourable situations, but the diameter of its trunk is greater in proportion
to its height than in the other pines of the country. In its native situation it exudes much less
resin than the pinus alba. The Canada porcupine feeds on its bark; and its wood, from its lightness and
the straightness and toughness of its fibres, is much prized for canoe timbers. The Canadian voyagers term
it Cypres, the Crees Ooskartawuc-atitic. It occurred on our route as far to the northward as lat. 64°, but
it is said to attain higher latitudes on the sandy banks of Mackenzie’s River.

Hab. In swampy situations, from York Factory to Point Lake, in lat. 65°. In the latter place it is very
dwarfish, seldom exceeding six or eight feet in height. It is named by the voyagers L’Epinette Rouge,
and by the Hudson’s Bay men, Juniper. Its Cree name is Wagginawgan (the tree that bends.)
