The Wild Pine Tree. Pinus syhestris. 



A TREE native of many parts of Germany, 

 very much resembling what is called the manured 

 pine, or simply the pine before described. It grows 

 to be a large and tall tree ; the trunk is covered 

 with a rough brown bark, that of the branches is 

 paler and smoother. The leaves are very narrow, 

 and short ; they grow two out of a case or husk, as 

 in the other, and are of a bluish green colour. 

 They differ principally in being shorter. The 

 flowers are yellowish, and like the others very small 

 and inconsiderable, the cones arc small, brown, and 

 bard, and sharp at the tops, they contain kernels in 

 their shells, among the scales as the other ; but 

 they are smaller. 



The kernels have the same virtues as those of the 

 other pines, but being little, they are not regarded. 

 The resin which flows from this tree, either natural- 

 ly, or when it is cut for that purpose, is what we 

 call common turpentine. It is a thick substance, 

 like honey, of a brownish colour, and very strong 

 and disagreeable smell. 



Yl hen this turpentine has been distilled to make 

 oil of turpentine, the resin which remains, is what 

 we call common resin ; if they put out the fire- 

 in time, it is yellow resin ; if they continue \i 

 longer, it is black resin. Thcv often boil the tur- 

 pentine in water without distilling it for the com- 

 mon resin; and when they take it out half boiled 

 for this purpose ; it is what we call Burgundj
