It prefers calcareous soil, and a drier climate than Sydney. It does 

 admirably in Adelaide and many parts of .Soutli Australia, and will llnuiish 

 iTi many parts of our State also. 



Tn its best d(?velopment it is a very large, handsome tree, with large 

 branches of very dense foliage.

(10.) P. Hartwegii, Lindl. (Syn. P. Wir&nberf/ii, Endl.) Mexico. 



This has never made a good ])lant in the Sy(biey Botanic Gardens, being 

 always thin and spindly. It should be more thoi-oughly tested in New South 

 Wales. 



(11.) P. heterophi/Ua,i:\l "Cuban Pine." 



Prof. B. E. Fernow says that this specicis is in tlu; very first rank of timlier 

 pines in the United States. 



It should therefore be given a tli(t)-ough trial here. 



(12.) P. Koraiensis, Sieb, and Zucc. " Corean Pine." 



Native of Corea, China, and .Japan. 



For a figure of the remarkable and handsome cone, see Veitch's Manual. 

 It is often planted in .Japan, where it attains imposing dimensions. 



Sydney is too warm for it, and it is hence a poor grower in the Sydney 

 Botanic Gardens ; but it should certainly find a place in gardens and planta- 

 tions in colder districts.

(13.) P. Lambertiana, Dongl. "Sugar Pine." 



Native of California, Oregon, and British Columbia. 



Sargent, tt. -542, 513. 



A gigantic tree in its native country, being the loftiest of all pines, 

 attaining a height of 300 feet. 



It yields a well-known and valuable timber, and Professor B. E. Fernow 

 classifies it as one of the best timber pines in the United States. 



The Sydney district is too warm for it, but it is certainly a valuable tree 

 for the cold districts. 



L 5 (Sydney Botanic Gardens). 



(li.) P. Laricw,F(nvet. " Corsican Pine," " Larch Pine." 



Native of South Europe and the Levant. 



The most useful tree for general forestiy planting in Great Britain. 



It does fairly well in Sydney. Our tree has been a good specimen, but it 

 is now past its prime. This pine should be well tested in the coast districts. 



L 7 (Sydney Botanic Gardens). 



Var. ausfrinca {P. austriaca, Hiiss). " Austrian Pine." 



It is a smaller and more inland tree than the preceding, and promises best 

 away from the coast.
