long. Scales dilated at the
apex, somewhat trapezoidal, much depressed ; in the young cones always
mutic. (Lamb.) This, till lately, was a very rare species ; there having been
ño plaiUs of it either at Dropmore or in the Horticultural Society’s Garden.
Indeed, so far as we are aware, it existed in no collection in Britain, but
that of Mr, Lambert at Boyton, till 1840.
