Conifer*.} CALIFORNIA.— SUPPLEMENT. 393 



we possess the same collected at Tepic by Dr Sinclair of Her Majesty's Ship Sulphur. On comparing 

 this with the P. patula of Scheide and Deppe, as figured in Lambert's Pinus, t. ] 9, (it is probably also the P. 

 patula of Chamisso and Schlechtendahl in the 6th volume of the Linnsea, p. 354) many points of resemblance 

 appear so much so, that we doubt of their being specifically distinct. 



As the Pines form one of the most interesting features in the Botany of California, and as our Herbarium 

 is but poor in specimens of this family, we shall give a list of all the species hitherto known, chiefly com- 

 piled from Loudon's excellent Arboretum et Fruticetum Britannicum. 



1. P. Sabiniana (Douglas) ; foliis ternis praslongis, strobilis ovatis echinatis maximis, 

 squamarum apicibus elongato-subulatis incurvis spinosis. Lamb. Pin. t. 80. Loud. Arboret.

2. P. Coulteri ; foliis ternis praelongis compressis vaginis filamento-laceris, strobilis 

 oblongis solitariis maximis, squamis cuneatis apicibus elongatis incrassatis lanceolatis 

 mucronatis ancipiti-compressis aduncis. Don. in Linn. Trans, v. 17. p. 440. " Lamb.

An accurate specific character and full description of this species are still desiderata.
