lishes Pinus Californiana of Loiseleur, quoting the latter’s 
description, and adds: “M. Vilmorin informs us that the tree 
in the nursery of M. Godefroy, at the Hort. Soc. gardens, from 
whichall the young plantssold by him have been produced by 
inarching, is supposed to be the only one existing of those 
sent home by Colladon. It is protected every winter ; those 
planted in the open ground in the Jardin des Plantes are all 
dead. The species is interesting,” Mr. Loudon continues, 
“especially tothe French, as being the only plant that has been 
preserved of those sent home by the expedition under La 
Peyrouse.” Pinus Montereyensis, Godefroy ; P. monther- 
agensis, Ranuch; P. Llaveana, Otto, and Pin de Monterey 
are names met with in early writings and are quoted as syno- 
nyms for Pinus Californiana, Lois, but mostly without a 
word of description. 
An early description (1816) of a tree—Pinus adunca, 
Bose., by Poiret (in the Supplement to Lamarck’s Encyclo- 
peedia, iv, 418)—is supposed to apply to this tree. Although 
Poiret seems to have seen the Loiseleur pine in the Jardin 
des Plantes, his account taken by itself contains little besides 
a good description of the leaves—so aduneca, as a name, 
must be rejected. 
In the Botany of Beechey’s Voyage, Hooker and Arnott 
declared Loiseleur’s description “too indefinite and uncer- 
tain.” Spach, Nuttall, Endlicher, Bigelow, Newberry, Gor- 
don, Torrey, Murray, Parlatore, Carriere, Lawson, Bentham, 
all ignore Loiseleur’s P. Californiana. 
Dr. Engelmann, in the Botany of California (ii, 128), 
under Pinus insignis, Douglas, admitted: “This species is 
probably the old P. Californiana of Loiseleur,” but he adds: 
“hich has never been identified.” The writer of the present 
article published in Mining and Scientific Press (January 
16th, 1892), and also in Garden and Forest (February 10th, 
1892), a brief paper advocating the resumption of Loiseleur’s 
name, P. Californiana. 
It requires but a slight acquaintance with the tree in ques- 
tion and a casual reading of the descriptions of Loiseleur,
