THE TRUE PINES. 255 



Ko. 120. PiNUS MAGNiFiCA, Roezl, the Magnificent Mexican 



Pine. 

 (Discovered by M. Koezl in 1856-7.) 



Leaves, in fives, three-edged, stiff, straight, and thirteen 

 inches long ; sheaths, reddish, and from one inch and a half to 

 one inch and three quarters long. Cones, very much bent, 

 eleven inches long, and from two inches to two inches and a 

 half broad. Scales, rhomboid, wrinkled, transversely keeled, 

 rising highest in the middle, and depressed at the base, one 

 inch and a quarter broad, and more than three quarters of an 

 inch long ; protuberance, large, and slightly curved. 



This magnificent tree grows from 110 to 130 feet high, with 

 a most regular appearance, and merits its name on account of 

 its grand foliage, forming great plumes at the ends of the shoots. 

 It is found on the mountains of Morelia, in Mexico. ( ? Pinus 

 Devoniana.)

 one inch broad, and three quarters of an inch long, transversely 

 keeled, very elevated at the upper part, and depressed at the 

 base ; protuberance, large and pyramidal.
