THE TRUE PINES. 241 



No. 88. Pixvus ToRREYANA, C. Parry, Toney's Pine. 



Leaves, in fives, resembling those of Pinus macrocarpa, but 

 stouter, shorter, and always five in a sheath. Cones, large, and 

 resembling those of Pinus Sabiniana, but much smaller, from 

 five to six inches long, and three inches in diameter, egg-shaped, 

 broadest at the base, slightly tapering towards the summit, 

 which is rounded and obtuse, very hard, solid, and of a glossy, 

 yellowish-brown colour. Scales, tetragone, pyramidal, much 

 elevated to the point, slightly and transversely compressed into 

 a sharp, lateral angle, terminating in a long, blunt point of a 

 lighter colour. Seeds, nearly an inch long, and six lines broad, 

 oval-oblong compressed, becoming narrower towards the base, 

 and rounded at the other extremity, of a greyish-brown colour, 

 frequently much darker on the sides, and marked with stripes 

 or little black dots ; wing large, and of a brownish colour. 



A large tree, discovered by Messrs. Parry and Emorry, in 

 California, and introduced into France in 1850, but of which 

 nothing more is known. 



It is said to differ principally from Pinus Sabiniana in its 

 having five leaves in a sheath, and not three, as in that species, 

 and in having much smaller cones. 



No. 89. Pinus "VViNCESTERiANA, Gordon, the Marquis of Win- 

 chester's Pine. 

 Syn. Pinus Winchesteriana, Hort. 



Leaves, in fives, from twelve to fourteen inches in length (on 

 the wild specimens), rather stout, three-edged, thickly set on 

 the branches, glaucous-green, and much resembling those of Pi- 

 nus filifolia, but broader and shorter than those of that species ; 

 sheaths, persistent or not falling off, about one inch in length, 

 smooth, and entire, or nearly so. Seed-leaves, on the young 

 plants, mostly eight in number, and rather short. Branches, 

 few, spreading, irregular, and rather stout ; buds, imbricated, 

 non-resinous, and large. Cones, pendulous, on very short foot- 

 stalks, two or three together, but sometimes single, always much, 

 incurved, and tapering pretty regularly from the base to the
