P h 3 maritima. P. marítima Lamh. Pin. ed. 2. t. 6 ^ - According to
M.: L ib e r t ’s figure, the cones of this variety, m the d.fferem forms
in ?hich he has given it, are all larger than those of the species. A
p ''7 4 ' " r ' t e n t i é n s i s Cao/r.-Does not appear, in fohr^e
knti habit d i f l e r e n t from the species. T h e cone we possess is 3 in.
long and IJin . in diameterat the broadest end, and regularly pyni-
midi. The length of the stalk is | in.
The leaves are of a deep green, 2 or 3 inches long, most con.nionly 2 in a
.sheath, but sometimes, though rarely, 3; and they
are so disposed as to form a double spiral round
the branches. They never remain longer than
two vears on the tree ; in consequence ot which
the branches of old trees have a naked a| pear-
aiice, and the head looks open, straggling, and
thin. The male catkins are reddish, from gin.
to J - in . in length, on short pedicels, disposed
in branches of 30 or 40 together. The crest is
large, proportionably to the size of the anthers,
and is rounded. The female catkins are not
as is usual, placed at the extreinity of the shoot
of the vear, but come out at the side oi the shoot,
and towards the middle of it ; they point outwards
during their flowering, and are oi a greenish hue,
slight^ tinged with red. The cones have vevy
string peduncles of half an inch or more in length ;
and, Ss they advance in size, they take a direction
almost perpendicularly downwards. The tree

grows rapidly when young, acquiring the height
of 15 or 20 feet in ten years.
