tulip-tree, and cypress of swamp is the other examples.<30>

There was at least eleven kinds of palms that grow in
Switzerland; and a variety of them grew as far north as
Northern Germany.<34>
We cannot give a list of the whole kind. On the one hand,
there were elms, willows, poplars, oaks and beech trees, so far
similar to the growth of forest of moderate regions. Mixed with
these were forests of trees as the tulip-tree, cypress of swamp,
and liquid amber or sweet gum of the southern part of the united one
