(6.) P. Coulteri, Don. " Coulter's Pine." 



A large tree, remarkable for its very large cones. It does fairly well in the 

 Sydney district (better at Campbelltown), and in many cooler parts of New 

 South Wales, but in our experience it is riot dense-foliag^d and hence not 

 very popular. At the same time farther experiments should be made with it. 



(7.) P. densiflora, Sieb. and Zucc. " Akamatsu Pine." See Sieb. and 

 Zucc., Flora Japonica, ii, 22, t. 112. Japan. 



This Japanese Pine has never done well in the Sydney Botanic Gardens. 

 It requires colder localities and is worthy of extended trial. 



(8.) P. cxcel*a, Wallich. "Himalayan Pine." "Lofty or Bhotan Pine." 

 Temperate Himalaya. 



This tree has been tried in the Sydney Botanic Gardens for many years, 

 but it always suffers during the droughts of summer. It is a Beautiful and a 

 very large tree and can be confidently recommended for cool localities where 

 good soil is available.

(9.) P. hahpensis, Miller. The " Jerusalem or Aleppo Pine." See Gard. 

 Chron. 1884, xxii, 553, f. 97 ; 1888, iii, 629, f. 84. 



Native of South Europe to Afghanistan. 



A tall tree, but, in the Sydney district, liable, during the last few years, to 

 an insect disease (a Coccid, Dactlylopus sp.) which has almost thrown it out 

 of cultivation. 



It prefers calcareous soil, and a drier climate than Sydney. It does 

 admirably in Adelaide and many parts of South Australia, and will nourish 

 in many parts of our State also. 



In its best development it is a very large, handsome tree, with large 

 branches of very dense foliage.

(10.) P. Harficegii, Lindl. (Syn. P. Ehrenbergii, Eivll.) Mexico. 



This has never made a good plant in the Sydney Botanic Gardens, being 

 always thin and spindly. It should be more thoroughly tested in New South 

 Wales. 



(11.) P. heterophylla, Ell. "Cuban Pine." 



Prof. B. E. Fernow says that this species is in the very first rank of timber 

 pines in the United States. 



It should therefore be given a thorough trial here. 



(12.) P. Koraiensis, Sieb. and Zucc. "Corean Pine." 



Native of Corea, China, and Japan. 



For a figure of the remarkable and handsome cone, see Veitch's Manual 

 It is often planted in Japan, where it attains imposing dimensions. 



Sydney is too warm for it, and it is hence a poor grower in the Sydney 

 Botanic Gardens ; but it should certainly find a place in gardens and planta- 

 tions in colder districts.
