Habitat in Montibus Rupcftribus ("Rocky Mountains";.
Leaves in fives, from 3 to j inches long, firm, glaucous, with a bluifli-white bloom, numerous,
roughened along the midrib and edges by ferratures invifible to the naked eye, the
ferratures directed to the point of the leaf Sheath very fliort, about a line in length. The
leaves make one full fpiral from top to bottom, the edge on the right hand at the bottom,
being on the left at the top. (In P. Monticola they make half a turn, the edge on the left
haiKl at the bottom being on the back at the top. In P. Strobus, Ayacahuite, and excel/a,
there is no perceptible fpiral turn.) The point of the leaf is acute and fomewhat fword-
Ihaped. The ferratures un the leaf arc very flight, and lefs frequent towards the point: at
the middle and bafe of the leaf the ditence between each ferrature is generally about half
the breadth of the leaf; towards the point the diltance becomes one and a half or twice
the breadth of the leaf [fig i]. If the ferratures of the leaf are to be made ufe of as a
specific charaaer, the neceffity of talking fomc fuch ftandard as this for eflimating their
relative fize and frequency muft l>e obviou.s. The leaf is trigonal, the back being convex, f* •
