small size. Height r. Introduced in 1839 by cones sent Home ny iiarcwu^,
from which plants have been raised.
Differs from P. RiisselliaJ!« in the longer leaves, and sborter and stouter
cones, the ends of the scales of which arc strongly hooked backwards. Ihey
are l i o r 15 inches long, very robust, and resemble those of the Pinaster.
Tlie cones are about 6 in. long, and 3 in. broad at the base ; and the scales arc
hooked backwards like those of P. Coulteri, and very hard. The small size
of the tree, if that should be its general habit, and the great length ot its
leaves, would seem to render this a very remarkable species. Young plains
have been raised, but whether they will prove hardy is uncertain.
