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

 Brit., t. 32. ; and our Jig. 781.) 

 Leaves oblong, wedge-shaped at 

 the base. 



These trees bear so close a resemblance 

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

 mind that they are only varieties and 

 siibvarieties 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 ^Y. J. Hooker, P. JYia varies in 

 having the leaves more or less cut at the 

 margin. They are all well deserving of cul- 

 ture.
