626 DR. M. T. MASTERS: GENERAL VIEW 
Pinus Laricio var. pyrenaica is the one found in various parts 
of the Pyrenees, and that P. monspeliensis and P. Salzmanni 
were inseparable from it. See H.de Vilmorin, Bull. Soc. Bot. 
France, Montpellier Congress, xl. (1893) pp. lxxvii-Ixxxi. | 
The tenuifoliate forms of P. Laricio occur in the mountains of 
S.E. Spain, in the Central Pyrenees, and the Cevennes. 
The forms referred by Parlatore to his var. y. nigricans are the 
following :— 
P. nigricans, Host (1826), also of Link, Tenore, Bertoloni, 
and others. 
P. austriaca of Hoss (1826). The two last names were, ac- 
cording to Dr. Giinther Ritter Beck von Mannagetta, published 
many years subsequently to the P. nigra of Arnold, which applies 
to the same form, and, except for the sake of convenience, should 
have precedence. 
P. sylvestris, Baumgartner. 
P. Pinaster, Besser, Tenore, not of Solander. 
P. Laricio, Koch. 
P. Laricio austriaca, Endlicher. 
P. Laricio nigricans, Christ. 
P. Fenzlii, Kotschy. 
DP. Heldreichii, Christ; see Gard. Chron. May 10, 1902, fig. 97. 
Of the Jast named I have seen a small cone forwarded by 
Dr. Christ, who speaks of it (in litt.) as “une variété trés 
remarquable montagneuse et subalpine de P. Laricio, Poiret, 
tres reduite et affectant presque le P. pumila. Elle est des 
hautes montagnes de la Gréce, Olympe et Thessale.” By some 
this variety is included under P. leucodermis of Antoine, but the 
figures of the cones of the two are widely different. 
P. leucodermis, Antoine, Oesterr. Bot. Zeitschr. xiv. (1864) 
p. 366, is said by its author to be distinguished from P. Laricio, 
var. austriaca, by the peculiar formation and colour of the bark, 
by the short, thick, densely crowded leaves, and by the somewhat 
smaller, far more resinous and black-green cones (see Dr. Giinther 
Ritter Beck von Mannagetta, in the ‘ Wiener Garten Zeitung’ 
(1889), and in his “ Flora d. Sud-Bosnia,” Ann. des k.-k. Hof- 
museum, Wien, ii. p. 37, 1887). 
Heldreich also, as quoted by Boissier, ‘Flora Orientalis,’ vy. 
p- 697, says it differs widely from Zaricio in its lower stature, 
thicker leaves, and much shorter cones (6-7 cent.), and in the 
form of the apopbysis. Dr. Christ thinks it near to P. montana.
