 River. Dr Richardson.

Hab. Sitcha. Bongard {in Herb, nostr.). Shores of the Pacific, from the confluence of the Columbia 

 northwards. Observatory Inlet. Dr Scolder,— P: growing close to the snow on Mount Rainier. Tolmie. — 

 This forms a "low scrubby" Pine in N. W. America; on Mount Rainier, near the snow, not exceeding 10 

 feet in height. The specimens exactly agree with the same species from the United States.

 libus) acutis supra leniter canaliculatis dorso teretibus marginibus asperis, vaginis 

 elongatis, strobilis ovato-conicis basi rotundatis subsolitariis subbiuncialibus, squamis

Hab. Nova Scotia and Canada, to the Saskatchawan and east side of the Rocky Mountains. Drummond: 

 and on the west side, from the source of the Columbia to the alpine range of Mount Hood. Douglas. — This 

 is the well-known " Weymouth Pine'' of our plantations. I cannot perceive the slightest difference in the 

 P, monticola of Mr Douglas and the present. The cones and foliage are exactly similar. 



5. P. Lambertiana (Dougl. mst.) ; foliis quinis subelongatis 4-5 uncialibus rigidiusculis 

 acutis acute triquetris unicoloribus margine subasperis, vaginis nullis, strobilis maximis
