Habitat in California.
A tree of from 25 to 50 feet in height, ftem flraight. Branches few, thinly and irregularly fcattered.
green colour, four or five inches long, twifted, fo as to make a turn of an inch an<l a êhalf from bafe to tip ; ftiff, flrong, triquetral, rounded on the back, keeled on the inner
Buds* furrounded by imbricated fcales, moderate in fize and conical [fig. i]. Leaves in threes, of a light
fide; all three margins fh'ongly ferrate, bearing eight neariy eciually diflant rows of
flomata on the rounded back, with a flighdy wider intei-val in the middle ; and about
four on each fide of the inner fides (fometimes three, fometimes four, and fometimes
three on the one fide and four on the other), [figs, 2 and 3], Sheaths fliort anil fmall

nearly at right angles when young, pendent and firmly adpreffcd to it

unequal conical fhape, vary-ing in length from four to fix or even eight
inches; hard, gloffy, not refinous, fawn-coloured, but lofing this colour
and becoming darker when old. The cones on the young trees have ||]
the fcales on the outer fide, particularly towards the bafe, very prominent, projecting horizontally, ||i
conical, and <leeply divided from each other, giving occafion to the fpecific name iuberculaia [fig. |l
