Descnption. A straight middle-sized tree, about 40 ft. high. Cones 

 in clusters (2 or 3), unequally-sided, ovate, about Sin. long; scales wedge- 

 shaped, very thick ; dilated at the apex, obsoletely 4-angled, mucronated with 

 an elevated umbilicus ; elongated at the external base, compressed on both 

 sides, callous, rigid, smooth, shining, recurved, and spreading. (Z). Don.) A 

 native of California, at San Luis, where it is called Obispo (the bishop), 

 crowint' at the height of 3000 ft. above the level of the sea. Professor Don 

 informs' us that the^cones grow 2 or 3 together ; and adds, that he had not 

 seen the leaves of this, or of P. tuberculata and P. radiata, but that he thinks 

 it is probable that, like the greater part of the American pines, they grow 

 in threes." {Lin. Trans, and Lavib. Pin.)

 in threes. Cones ob- 

 long, with unequal sides, 

 crowded. Scales qua-

 at the apex, with a de- 

 pressed umbilicus; those 

 at the exterior base 

 larger, elevated, and con- 

 ical. {D. Don.) Cones,

 Description. A tree 



about 100 ft. high. Cones ^ 



oblong, 3 in a cluster, |»: 



of a tawny grey, 4 in. 



long, 2 J in. broad ; scales 



wedge-shaped, dilated at 



the apex, quadrangular, 



truncate, with a depressed 



umbilicus ; larger at the 



external base, conical with 



an elevated apex. (D. 



Don.) Found by Dr. 



Coulter, along with P. 



radiata, which it resembles 



in size and habit, but is 



essentially distinguis^hed 



by the form of its cones.
