we possess the same collected at Tepic by Dr Sinclair of Her Majesty’s Ship Sulphur. On comparing
this with the P . patula of Scheide and Deppe, as figured in Lambert’s Pinus, t. 19, (it is probably also the P.
patula of Chamisso and Schlechtendahl in the 6th volume of the Linneea, p. 354) many points of resemblance
appear so much so, that we doubt of their being specifically distinct.
As the Pines form one of the most interesting features in the Botany of California, and as our Herbarium
is but poor in specimens of this family, we shall give a list of all the species hitherto known, chiefly compiled
from Loudon’s excellent Arboretum et Fruticetum Britannicum.

Mr Loudon and others are disposed to consider this merely a variety of the preceding.
