Leaves in fives, very slender, eight or ten inches long, of a 

 bluish-gray or glaucous colour, rather pendulous when full 

 grown, and slightly angular. Sheaths one inch long, composed 

 of imbricated scales, and jagged at the ends. Branches diverg- 

 ing at right angles from the main stem, as in the Weymouth 

 Pine (P. Strobus), with numerous slender branchlets. Cones 

 from five to six inches long, and one inch and three-quarters 

 broad, of a conical shape, slightly curved, and growing in whorls 

 round the branches in a horizontal or slightly declining direc- 

 tion. Scales rhomboid, a little rounded towards the top, rising 

 in the centre, depressed at the base, slightly keeled transversely 

 across the middle, and terminated by a sharp point in the centre, 

 and three-quarters of an inch broad, and rather more than half 

 an inch long. Seeds middle-sized, with dark marbled wings 

 one inch long.
