The interesting Pine here figured has much the general 
aspect of the Himalayan P. excelsa, Wall., often known as 
the Bhutan Pine, or of the Mexican P. Ayacahuite, Ehrenb., 
the Hickory Pine; the cones are, however, very unlike 
those of the two species mentioned, The species is most 
nearly allied to the Corean Pine, P. koraiensis, Sieb. & 
Decemper, 1910.
