are male plants. 



These and the 



plants of Mr. 



Douglas have 



been carefully 



compared with 



European ones 



found growing 



on the t/unipe- 



rus Oxycedrus, 



some from the 



south ofFrance 



(in Languedoc, 



gathered by M. 



Bory de feaint 



Vincent), and 



others fromMt. 

 Caucasus, com- 

 municated to 

 meby Mr.Pres- 

 cott,and I must 

 confess, I can- 

 not perceive any 

 specific differ- 

 ence in them 

 whatever. In 

 general, but not 

 always, those 

 from the old 

 world are ei- 

 ther greener or 

 blacker when 

 dry; and the 

 American more 

 yellow. "(^00^. 

 Ft. Bor. Amer., 

 i. p. '^78.) Pi- 

 nus ponderosa, 

 which is, per- 

 haps, more har- 

 dy than the pi- 

 naster, and is 

 of equally rapid 



growth, has a noble appearance, even when a young tree ; and, together 

 with P. SabimaHG and P. Coulteri, equally noble trees, and apparently as 

 hardy and of as rapid growth, well deserves a place in every pinetum.
