culate above, flattish beneath, smooth ; angles 



slightly serrated, furnished with conspicuous 



dotted lines, wavy, not flexuose ; light green, 



4 in. long; sheaths composed of many ligulate, 



ciliated, and torn, bright brown, loosely obvo- 



lute, caducous scales. Cones ovate, pendulous, 



2 in. long, on a very short, thick, peduncle ; 



scales dilated at the apex, trapezoidal, truncate, 



depressed, a little hollo wed; in the young cone, 



elongated and mucronate. Seeds small ; wing 



oblong, brown. (Lamb.) This species was 



discovered by MM. Schiede and Deppe ; and 



Mr. Lambert's figure was taken from speci- 



niens communicated by them. The leaves, 



Mr. Lambert says, are precisely those of the 



5tr6bus tribe , with which this species also 



agrees in having a caducous sheath. Mr. 



liambert sent seeds to Dropmore; where 



there are three plants raised from them ; one 

 . of which was, 



in 1837, 6 ft. 

 high, and had 

 stood out six 

 years without 

 any protection; 



and two others, 12 ft. and 14- ft. high, which 

 are covered every winter in the same manner 

 as P. longifolia, and which have been more in- 

 jured than those which were left without pro- 

 tection. Fii^. 2187. is a portrait of one ot 

 the Dropmore trees, which, in 1837, was 14 ft. 

 high.

 Sert. Char. Leaves short, nearly straight, with longitudinal silvery channels. 

 Cone, with the scales not thickened at the apex, globose, about as long as 

 the leaves.
