flowers said to be precisely as described and figured in Q. acutifòlia
Nees, p . 904. fig. 1690. ; and, consequently, the name Skinneri may be
considered as a synonyine to Q. acutifòlia.
q . pyrenàica, p. 853. Add, either as an allied Species or as a Variety: —
“ q . pannónica Booth. Hungary. Introduced to the H. S. Garden from
the Hamburg Nursery.”
Q. rubra, p. 868. Add as a Variety : — “ Q. r. taramcifolia Booth. A singular
variety, with long narrow irregularly lobed leaves. H. S.”
Fj 'güs sylvâtica. Add as as a Variety : — “ F. s. 9 cochleàta Booth. Said
to be a curious plant with spoon-shaped leaves. (G . M . 1842.)”
P l a t a n a ' c e æ . Page 927.
Î Vla'TA NU S [occidentàlis') heterophylla L indl. This American plane has hitherto
been confounded in some collections with th e Oriental species, Plâtanus
acerifòlia. I t has the same kind o f fruit as P . occidentàlis, while P.
acerifòlia has fruit like th a t o f P . orientàlis. P . [o.] heterophylla is
frequently imported from the southern states o f America under the
name of P. occidentàlis, from which it is very distinct in foliage and
stature ; and it is also much tenderer. The young shoots frequently
suffer during winter, and particularly if the plant is in a damp situation.
C o n i ' f e b æ . Page 946.
Î F i 'n u s (Laricio) austrìaca Höss, p. 958., is treated as a sub-species, for
th e sake of keeping it distinct, though we had given above Delamarre’s
arrangement, who considers it a variety o f P . Laricio, which is also our
opinion.
Î P . Chilghòza, which is given p. 998., with a ?, as a synonyme to P.
Gerard!'™«, Mr. Gordon says is different from P. Gerardiàna, but nearly
related to P . longifòlia, p. 996.
P . sinénsis, p. 999. Add as Synonymes : “ P . nepalénsis Pin. Wob.,’’ and
" P . Cavendishiàna H o rt.”
Add after Pinus oocárpa, p. 1012.: —
P . o'òcarp'óides Lindl. A pine from Guatemala, with very long slender
leaves, five in a sheath, and cones about half th e size o f those o f P.
oocárpa, of which it is probably a variety.
Î P . Ayacahuite, p. 1023. Mr. Gordon says there are two distinct pines
under this name : the oneEhrenberg’s, described in the te x t ; and another,
sent home by Hartweg, the cones of which are about half th e size of
Ehrenberg’s plant, and the buds much smaller. Probably a variety.
A'bies Douglàsii, p. 1033. Mr. Gordon says he has cones under this
name o f three distinct varieties or species ; Hartweg’s are the largest,
and Ehrenberg’s the smallest. Probably, Hartweg’s may be th a t doubtful
species A. hirtélla H. et K . : see p. 1036. and p. 1050.
Î T b v 'ja péndula, p. 1071. Omit the Synonyme " ? Ju n íp eru s flagellifórmis
Hort.”
í C u f r e I SSUS torulosa, p. 1076. Add "W a llic h ” to the Identification; and
insert as Synonymes, “ C. nepalénsis Hort.,” and “ Ju n íp eru s nepalénsis
HorL”
1 C. Coulterii, p. 1077. Omit this as a species, and add it as a Synonyme to
C. thurifera, in the same page.
¥ T a x o '-b iom distichum, p. 1078. Add to the Varieties : —
t T. d. 6 nuciferum. (P áx u s nucífera Hort ) A very distinct variety, or
possibly species, which has been found quite hardy in the
Garden.
« SUNl'pERUS gossainthdnea Hort., and J . Bedford'waa Hort., are names
applied to the same species, which resembles a red cedar, but is rather
more slender in habit.
