Hartweg into the error of giving new names to trees previously 
published. “As Professor Don’s names have priority, I pro- 
pose,” continues Mr. Gordon, “to cancel such of Hartweg’s 
names as require it.” He then proceeds to describe correctly, 
at great length, with an excellent figure of the cone, (but 
representing leaves too large,) Mr. Hartweg’s little slender- 
cone pine—but under Don’s name of Pinus tuberculata. 
A.B. Lambert, in 1842, in his Pinus, 3rd ed., iii, 131, Tab. 
85, had published a pine as Pinus tuberculata, Don, giving 
Don’s description of his small form of Monterey pine; but 
Mr. Lambert gives two figures, a front and back view of a 
true Knob-cone pine, four and one-half inches long by two 
inches thick, widest near the middle, outer scales largest, 
elongated, conical or quadrangular, attenuate, surmounted by 
a small incurved prickle—precisely the characters of our 
narrow, Knob-cone pine. The cone for these illustrations 
must have been obtained from Mr. Douglas, and he perhaps 
collected it in Oregon, for the species extends to the southern 
mountains of that State. Further, it is perhaps his “Oregon 
Pitch pine,” a name that has been confounded with his 
“Remarkable pine” from Monterey. 
The name fuberculata comes up again in that peculiar 
“Report of the Oregon Committee,” published anonymously, 
but credited to Prof. Balfour. Copies of it are very rare and 
I am fortunate in being able to consult one in the possession 
of the widow of the late Dr. C. C. Parry. The report treats 
of the collection of John Jeffrey in northern California, and 
five species of pine are described and figured, one of them 
“Pinus tuberculata, Don, found near Mt. Shasta in Lat. 41 
degrees, at an elevation of 5,000 feet.” 
Mr. Gordon, in his two editions of PINETUM, 1858 and 
1875, still employed Don’s name for this species of pine—as 
also have, subsequently, Parlatore, Carriere, Koch, Bolander: 
Vasey, Lawson, Engelmann and Masters—all crediting the 
authorship, however, not to Don, but to Gordon. We agree 
with these writers for holding that Don's description, as far 
as it goes, refers toa form of Monterey pine, and that the
