ABIES SMITHIANA. | 
Loudon, v. 4. 2317. 
Lindley in Penny Cyclopedia (with a good figure of 
the cone.) Art. Abies. 
Pinus Smithiana,—Wallich. 
Pinus Khutrow.—foyle. Endl. Conif. 122. 
Pinus Morinda (of gardeners. ) 
Two good trees in the arboretum, raised (like 
the Pinus excelsa and the deodaras) from seeds sent 
to my father from the Cape by Lady Napier, to 
whom they had been given by Dr. Wallich :— 
planted out, in their present situations, in 1843. 
The habit or character of the tree is marked and 
peculiar, and as Henry* tells me, is quite tie 
same which it has on its native mountains :—the 
general outline very regularly and _ strictly 
pyramidal, narrower than in the common Spruce, 
the main branches shortening very gradually 
upwards; the secondary branches very decidedly 
and remarkably pendulous. 
Colour of the foliage, in the general view, a 
erey-green, lighter and much more greyish than 
that of the common Spruce. 
Leaves considerably longer than those of the 
common Spruce, 1$ inches to 2 inches long when 
full grown, not straight, but constantly and very 
distinctly icurved, that is, forming an arch with 
the concavity towards the branch.
