ECONOMIC FORESTRY. 393 
Aiton, the maritime or cluster pine (P. maritima, Poiret apud 
Lam.), are indigenous, and much cultivated in the south. The 
spruce yields “Burgundy pitch” and “frankincense ;” whilst 
“ Bordeaux turpentine” is obtained by cutting long slips off the 
stem of the cluster pine, with which the dunes of the south-west 
coast have since 1789 been so successfully planted. Among other 
woods, taken mostly from those exhibited by the French Govern- 
ment at the Exhibition of 1867, are the following :—
