* P. (A.) i. 2 angustifoHa. P. edulis 

 Willd. En. p. 527. (Wats. Dend. 

 Brit., t. 52. ; and our Jig. 781.) 

 Leaves oblong, wedge-shaped at 

 the base. 



These trees bear so close a resemblance 

 to P. A'ria, as to leave no doubt in our 

 mind that they are only varieties and 

 subvarieties of that species. They are 

 found in a wild state in France, Germany, 

 and Sweden ; and perhaps also in the 

 Highlands of Scotland, where, according 

 to Sir W. J. Hooker, P. A\ia varies in 

 having the leaves more or less cut at the 

 margin. They are all well deserving of cul- 



ture.
