ARBORETUM ET FRUTICETUM BRITANNICUM. 



der, and pendent, closely 

 set on the branches, and 

 forming large tufts at the 

 extremities of the shoots. 

 The stem and old wood 

 readily emit leaves and 

 shoots from adventitious 

 buds. A large tree, with the 

 habit of P. ^trobus, but not 

 the cones of that species. 

 Mexico, between Cruz- 

 blanca and Jalacinga, in 

 the cold region, 7000 ft. 

 above the sea. Height 

 60 ft. to 100 ft. Intro- 

 duced ? 1800. 



Cones were extensively 

 distributed by the Horticul- 

 tural Society in 1839. The 

 timber is said to be valuable, 

 but to resist the plane. Mr. 

 Lambert sent seeds to Drop- 

 more, where there are three 

 plants raised from them ; one 

 of which was, in 1837, 6 ft. 

 high, and had stood out six 

 years without any protection ; 

 and two others 12 ft. and 

 14 ft. high, which are covered 

 every winter in the same 

 manner as P. longifolia, and 

 which have been more in- 

 jured than those which were 

 left without protection.
