its genei-iil appearance. He afterwards called it P. penicellus, but, in his 

 Supjil. he names it P. pyrenaica, which name Captain Cook proposes to 

 change to P. hispanica, as the tree is chiefly found in Spain ; and a French 

 writer in Annales (VHort. to P. halepensis major. Captain Cook states that 

 this species is " quite hardy, of quick growth, and will, from its noble ap- 

 pearance, the beauty of its form, and the clear transparent colour of both the 

 bark and foliage, be a vast acquisition to our park scenery. The timber is 

 white and dry, being nearly without turpentine ; but the cones exude a 

 most delicious balsamic odour. The wood was formerly used by the 

 Spanish government, in the arsenals of Carthagena and Cadiz, for the decks 

 of ships ; for which purpose regular depots were kept in the Sierra de 

 Segura ; and it was floated down to the respective ports by the rivers Se- 

 gura and Guadalquiver. It is one of the species described in the book of 

 Arab agriculture written by a Moor of Seville, in 1200, and translated by 

 Ban(|ueri." Besides the plants sent by Captain Cook to Woodside, the 

 Horticultural Society's Garden, and Syon, there are also specimens at 

 Newton and Belsay, in Northumberland; at Dropmore ; at Carlton, near 

 Darlington, in Durham ; at Carclew, in Cornwall; and some other places.
