ARBORETUM AND FRUTICETUM.

PARI' III.

culate above, flattish beneath, smooth; anglesslightly serrated, furnished with conspicuousdotted lines, wavy, not flexuose ; light green,

4 in. long; sheaths composed of many ligulate,ciliated, and torn, bright brown, loosely obvo-lute, caducous scales. Cones ovate, pendulous,

2 in. long, on a very short, thick, peduncle;scales dilated at the apex, trapezoidal, truncate,depressed, a little hollowed; in the young cone,elongated and mucronate. Seeds small; wingoblong, brown. (Lavib.) This species wasdiscovered by MM. Schiede and Deppe ; andMr. Lambert’s figure was taken from speci-mens communicated by them. The leaves,

Mr. Lambert says, are precisely those of theStrobus tribe, with which this species alsoagrees in having a caducous sheath. Mr.

Lambert sent seeds to Dropmore; wherethere are three plants raised from them ; one

of which was,in 1837, 6 ft.high, and hadstood out sixyears withoutany protection;

and two others, 12 ft. and 14 ft. high, whichare covered every winter in the same manneras P. longifolia, and which have been more in-jured than those which were left without pro-tection. Fig. 2187. is a portrait of one ofthe Dropmore trees, which, in 1837, was 14 ft." high.
