Masters, Maxwell T., Pimis [Laricio] plndica. (The Gardeners' 



Chronicie. [III.j Vol. XXXI. p. 302—304. Figg. 3.) 



Piniis pindica Formanek, is considered by the author as a distinct 

 variety of P. Laricio and intermediate between it and P. lencodermis 

 G. Beck. Its resemblance to P. Heldreichi Christ is very slight. The 

 structure of the leaf is the same as that of P. Laricio, and from it the 

 -author infers that it is well suited to resist wind and therefore a suitable 

 tree for growing in the mountainous coüntries of temperate regions.
