OF THE GENUS PINUS. 609 
(1813), but, in the Supplement to that work, Lapeyrouse 
acknowledged his mistake, stated that no such Pine as he 
had described existed in the Pyrenees, and substituted for it a 
description of another “ pyrenaica,” which is now known as 
P. Laricio, var. pyrenaica. I am indebted to Prof. Clos for 
the information that no specimen answering to either of his 
descriptions exists in Lapeyrouse’s herbarium at Toulouse. The 
late Henry de Vilmorin, for the purpose of elucidating this 
matter, made five separate journeys to the Pyrenees, including 
a visit to one of the localities mentioned by Lapeyrouse, but 
nowhere did he find anything corresponding to P. bruttia, 
which has been considered identical with Lapeyrouse’s original 
pyrenaica. What he did find was, in every case, the variety of 
P. Laricio now known as var. pyrenaica, and which has also 
received other names (see H. de Vilmorin, Bull. Soc. Bot. France, 
xl., 1893), which will be further considered under the head of 
P. Laricio. If we abandon Lapeyrouse’s name pyrenaica and 
go back to the first name given, we must cite P. resinosa of 
Loiseleur ; but this, as Carriére has pointed out, was forestalled 
by the very different P. resinosa of Solander. Accordingly 
Carriére, in 1855, called this Pine P. Loiseleuriana, which he 
considered different from P. bruttia. This opinion has not been 
generally adopted, and in these circumstances Tenore’s name, 
bruttia (1881), claims precedence. 
The P. Paroliniana of Webb appears to be a MS. name only, 
and the P. Parolinii of Visiani dates from 184i. In former 
notes on this species I followed the nomenclature and synonymy 
given by Parlatore. 
The following descriptive note was published in the ‘ Gardeners’ 
Chronicle,’ with an illustration, Sept. 8, 1888, p. 267, under the 
name of P. pyrenaica vera, which I now propose to abandon 
for the reasons already alleged. I transcribe the notes taken 
from a specimen forwarded by the late M. Naudin, which has been 
compared with the specimens in the Kew Herbarium and Museum 
and in the British Museum, and in particular with the type- 
specimens of P. bruttia of Tenore. 
Bark grey. Herbaceous shoots green, naked at the base, 
marked with prominent pulvini. 
Leaves two, in a very short sheath, 43 inches long (12 cent.), 
linear-pointed, concavo-convex, serrulate, with stomata on all 
sides. In section the leaf is boat-shaped with an epiderm of
