546 General Notices. 



tree. It is adorned with magnificent foliage, 14 inches in length, which 

 must lend a transcendent softness and grace to the full grown tree. It is, 

 as yet, very rare, and highly prized by pine fanciers. Being new, it is 

 here, of course, quite young. 



Pimis Hartwegti. — Is of the same beautiful long foliaged character with 

 the preceding. This strikingly beautiful Mexican species was found by the 

 discoverer, whose name it bears, on Monte Campanario, at 'JOOO feel of el- 

 evation, just above the boundary where the Abies religiosa ceases to grow. 

 It is remarkable for the length and abundance of its fine, light tasselated 

 foliage ; and, though by no means a tall tree, must produce a very pictur- 

 esque effect in the grown specimen. It is believed to favor a swampy bot- 

 tom ; quite hardy. It is yet quite rare, and is here quite young. 



Pmus Russelliana. — Found near the same locality in Mexico, with the 

 preceding, near the Real del Monte, on the road between San Pedro and 

 San Pablo. The foliage is remarkable for its length. A large sized spe- 

 cies, set down as growing on swampy ground ; hardy, also young and rare. 



Pinus Montezuma:. — Found on the Orizaba and other mountains, in Mex- 

 ico, still more remarkable than the above for its length of foliage, " foliis 

 longis, (pedalibus sesquipedalibus) rigidis," &c. It is the Pinus occiden- 

 talis of Humb. Bonpl. Kunih, &c., and has a variety named P. Lindleyi of 

 Loudon. It has been tested and found quite hardy. 



Pinus Pseudo-Strobus. — Found at an elevation of 8000 feet, at Angan- 

 guco, in Mexico, and distinguished, like the above, for its elongated foliage, 

 which, being of a light glaucous green, is very graceful. It offers well, and 

 attains, when fully grown, a large size. Of doubtful hardihood. It is here 

 planted on a shady, shelving rock, where, as yet, it has indicated no signs 

 of tenderness, having withstood the sharp frost which was here severely felt 

 in the beginning of June last. 



Pinus Lambcrtiana. — Found by Douglas, in North-west America, be- 

 tween 40° and 43° North latitude, and 100 miles inland, where it reaches 

 the prodigious height of between 150 and 200 feet. Endlicher even adds 

 Arbo7- giganlea non nvnquam pedes ducentenos excedente. This is, probably, 

 the most stupendous tree of this whole division. Though young here, I ob- 

 served one specimen which has produced cones — abortive it is true — but 

 though the plant was only 9 inches high, it bore 15 such formations. This 

 species is quite hardy. 



Pinus monticola. — Found in the mountains, near the Kettle Falls of the 

 Colombia, and at the river Spokan, in North-west America. Beautiful and 

 rare. It is believed that a spurious species has got abroad in many parts, 

 which appears to be nothing else than a variety of P. Strobus. Here the 

 graft is from the Dropmore tree, which is, unquestionably, genuine, and is 

 plainly the same with that of the Keillour Pinetum, with which I carefully 

 compared it. The tree is very resinous, and grows to a great size. The 

 true kind is, undoubtedly, hardy, and strikingly beautiful in its habit. This 

 species cannot be sufficiently recommended. 



Pinus Ayacahtiite. — This splendid species was found by Ebrenberg, 

 growing in the mountains of Chiapa and Oaxaca of Mexico. Mr. Harlweg
