dilate above, flattish beneath, smooth ; angles 



slightly serrated, furnished with conspicuous 



dotted lines, wavy, not flexuose ; light green, 



4 in. long; sheaths composed of many ligulate, 



ciliated, and torn, bright brown, loosely obvo- 



lute, caducous scales. Cones ovate, pendulous, 



2 in. long, on a very short, thick, peduncle ; 



scales dilated at the apex, trapezoidal, truncate, 



depressed, a little hollowed; in the young cone, 



elongated and mucronate. Seeds small ; wing 



oblong, brown. (Lamb.) This species was 



discovered by MM. Schiede and Deppe ; and 



Mr. Lambert's figure was taken from speci- 

 mens communicated by them. The leaves, 



Mr. Lambert says, are precisely those of the 



5tr6bus tribe, with which this species also 



agrees in having a caducous sheath. Mr. 



Lambert sent seeds to Dropmore; where 



there are three plants raised from them ; one 

 ^ of which was, 



in 1837, G ft. 

 high, and had 

 stood out six 

 years without 

 any protection; 



and two others, 12 ft. and 14 ft. high, which 

 are covered every winter in the same manner 

 as P. longifolia, and which have been more in- 

 jured than those which were left without pro- 

 tection. Fig. 2187. is a portrait of one of 

 the Dropmore trees, which, in 1837, was 14 ft. 

 high. 



§ xiv. Cenibrae. 



Sect. Char. Leaves short, nearly straight, with longitudinal silvery channels. 

 Cone, with the scales not thickened at the apex, globose, about as long as 

 the leaves.
