CONTPERZAS. 
the high mountains near Ronda in the South of abies 
Spain. (See his notice of it in Hooker’s London ors 
Fournal Bot., v. 5. 441). He first observed it on 
the top of the Sierra Bermeja (or Vermeja ?) near 
Estepona, due south of Ronda. 
Mord Wilford tells me (June 0, 1870), that it 
grows also on the Serra da Estrella, in Portugal. 
The name fpinsapo (Lord Lilford tells me) is 
accented on the second syllable—pinsapo. 
The pinsapo is excessively like the cephalonica, 
differing only (so far as I can see) in the shorter, 
still more rigid, and more thickly-set leaves, which 
stands out so densely and stiffly as to give a 
peculiar hedgehog-like look to the young branches. 
I think it very probable that, when they come to 
be more thoroughly known, these two kinds of 
Silver Fir, the one from Greece and the other 
from the South of Spain, will be found not to be 
permanently distinct. 
ABIES CEDRUS.

(CEDRUS LIBANI.) 
Loudon, Arb. v. 4. 2402. 
There are no old Cedars at Barton; the oldest apies 
is one that my father found growing in the pag 
Kitchen garden, and transplanted in 1823 to the 
Pleasure Ground between the two great Oaks, 
where it now stands.* This has not grown very 
* We cut this down in 1867
