PINUS FUNEBRIS (Komarov). 



Flora Mamhuriee, Vol. I. p. 177 (1901). 



Trees of Great Britain and Ireland, Vol. V. p. 1144 (1910). 



This pine resembles in stature P. si/lvestris, but has ashy-grey 

 coloured bark. Branchlets light brown, shining, glabrous. Buds 

 ovoid, light brown, short-pointed, with appressed scales. Leaves in 

 pairs, slender, 2} to 4 inches long, differing from those of P. Thun- 

 ben/ii in having marginal resin-canals. 



Cones similar in size to those of P. Thiuibergu, but differing 

 in the greyish apophyses of the scales, each of which has an elevated 

 umbo, ending in a short inflexed point. Seeds shining dark brown, 

 with short broad wings. 



Pinifs funebris, which has a wide distribution in the mountains 

 of northern Korea, and in the Manchurian provinces, S. Ussuri, 

 Kirin, and Mukden, has been long confused with P. Thunbergii 

 (Vol. I. p. o5). It is often planted in Korea and Manchuria and 

 in the vicinity of Peking, around temples and tombs. It is un- 

 known in cultivation in England. 



The illustration shows a specimen obtained from Manchuria 

 by Dr. A. Henry.
