 with the points of the scales free. Cones ellipsoid, very large, 5 to 1 2 in. long, short- 

 stalked, with either stout or slender recurved prickles. Seeds often \ in. long, with 

 long wings. This variety occurs in the Sierra Nevada, San Bernardino, San Jacinto, 

 and Cuyamaca mountains in California, and on the San Pedro Martir mountain in

1 Cf. Graves, Black Hills Forest Reserve, published in U.S. Geol. Survey, 1897-98, pt. v. forest Reserves (1899). 



a Tourney, in Garden and Forest, viii. 22, fig. 4 (1895), figures this tree, or a similar form, on Mount Chiricahui, in 

 south-eastern Arizona, and believes that all the varieties of P. ponderosa occur there, gradually passing into one another. 

 Lemmon, in Erythea, ii. 103, fig. 3 (1894), describes and figures the Chiricahui pine as P. apacheca.
