much more depressed and 

 straight-pointed tubercles of 

 its cones ; those of P. longi- 

 folia being hooked. The 

 largest specimen of this pine 

 that we know of is at Drop- 

 more ; where, after having 

 been 14* years planted, it 

 was, in 1837, 17ft. high. It 

 is protected during winter in 

 the same manner as P. longi- 

 folia and P. leiophylla. A 

 plant in the Trinity College 

 Botanic Garden, Dublin, 

 raised there about 1815, from 

 seeds collected at Teneriffe, 

 by the late Dr. Smith of Chris- 

 tiania, attained the height of 

 15 ft. without any protec- 

 tion, and remained uninjured 

 till the severe spring of 1830, 

 when the top was completely 

 destroyed. In the early part 

 of the summer of that year, 

 however, the trunk threw out 

 two or three shoots, a few inches above the collar, and, the dead part above 

 it being cut off, these shoots have grown vigorously ever since ; and one 

 of them, having taking the lead, promises to make a handsome plant.
