OF THE GENUS PINUS. 627 
The figure of the cone certainly looks different from that of 
most forms of Laricio. 
A young living plant, given me by Mr. W. Paul, greatly 
resembles a young plant of the Austrian pine, but the leaves 
are of a deeper green colour and the bud-scales more silvery. 
Moreover, the hypoderm projects in wedge-shaped masses into 
the substance of the leaf, which is not the case generally in the 
other forms of Laricio. 
P. majellensis, Gussone, is sometimes included here, but the 
marginal position of the resin-canals shows this to be referable 
rather to P. montana. 
P. taurica, hort. 
P. dalmatica, Visiani. 
Here also may probably be placed P. Laricio, var. elica, 
Kotschy, n. 418, which has orange-coloured shoots as in P. Laricio 
pyrenaica. 
P. Laricio orientalis is a short-leaved variety from Cyprus, 
Kotschy, 759! 
The forms in this group occur in the mountains of Austria, 
Dalmatia, Venezia, Hercegovina, Montenegro, Calabria, Sicily, 
Greece, Crete, and the Taurus Mountains. 
Under var. 6. Pallasiana are included forms with relatively 
thick, rigid leaves, but with larger cones than in those pre- 
viously mentioned, and with the apophysis marked by radiating 
cracks. Here are referred :— 
P. maritima of Pallas. 
P. Pinea, Hablitz. 
P. halepensis, Marschall v. Bieberstein. 
P. Pallasiana, Lambert. P. Laricio Pallasiana, Endlicher and 
others. ; 
In this series may also be placed P. Laricio pindica, the P. pin- 
dica of Formanek, from the mountains of Thessaly, Sintenis! 
(see Masters, in Gard. Chron. May 10, 1902, figs. 95, 96). 
The P. Laricio calabrica of Delamarre is, in gardens, a tree 
with bushy pyramidal habit and upturned branches with dark 
green leaves. The names ifalica and Romana are supposed to 
apply to this form. A specimen from Calabria, given me by 
Dr. Christ, is in foliage and cone evidently a form of Laricio, 
var. nigricans, but whether it is the same as Delamarre’s tree, I 
am not able to say. 
A very distinct form is that gathered by the late General
