242 PiNUS; OR 



point ; from eight to ten inches in length, and three inches and 

 a half broad at the base, with from twenty-six to thirty rows of 

 scales. Scales, five-eighths of an inch broad, much elevated, 

 particularly those upon the middle of the cone on the upper or 

 outer side, where they become conical, and from three-eighths 

 to a quarter of an inch high, while those on the under side and 

 towards the extremities are much smaller, less elevated, and 

 nearly all of a size ; and from amongst which a large quantity 

 of clear resin exudes, particularly on the outer side near the 

 base. Seeds, rather small, and angular, with rather a broad 

 wing one inch in length. 



This Pine was first introduced by the Marquis of Winchester, 

 but afterwards was obtained in abundance by Mr. Hartweg, 

 who found it growing on the most elevated parts of the Cerro 

 de San Juan, or Saddle Mountain, near Tepic, in Mexico, at- 

 taining a height of from sixty to eighty feet. It is very distinct 

 from any other hitherto described, particularly in its very long, 

 incurved, resinous cones. 



It is not hardy in England.
