THE TRUE PINES. 321 



A magnificent tree, from 90 to 100 feet high, with a very 

 straight stem and horizontal branches, a little elevated towards 

 the points, and furnished with great tufts of foliage at the ends 

 of the shoots. 



It is found in Mexico on the highest mountains, particularly 

 in the State of Angangueo, at Real del Monte, and on the moun- 

 tains between the two volcanoes of Popocatepetl and Ixtaci- 

 huatl ; its chief range being from 8000 to 10,000 feet of eleva- 

 tion. 



A most beautiful tree, on account of its fine long leaves, being 

 in tufts or bundles at the ends of the shoots, and the branches 

 being very regularly placed along the stem. 



It is tender.

Leaves in fives, slender, and from 10 to 11 inches long. 

 Sheaths from three-quarters of an inch to one inch long, and

 broad, and quite straight. Scales elevated in the middle, 

 transversely keeled, three-quarters of an inch broad, and half

This splendid tree is unequalled by any other in Mexico, 

 with its long tufted branches, commencing within a yard of 

 the ground. It grows on the opposite side of the mountain 

 west from Ixtacihuatl, at an elevation of 8000 or 9000 feet.
