anil in the Dnke of Devonshire's villa at Chiswick, are from 3 ft. to 5 ft.

Spec. Char. y fyc. Leaves in threes, com- 

 pressed, flexuose, scabrous ; sheaths 

 about in. long. Cones ovate, 

 smoothish. (Lamb. Pin.) A native 

 of Mount Orizaba, near Vera Cruz, 

 in Mexico. Introduced by A. B. Lam- 

 bert, Esq., in 1826, or before. 

 Description. Branchlets very leafy, with 

 a persistent epidermis. Buds imbricated 

 with lanceolate, acuminate, ciliate, and 

 torn scales. Leaves 

 in threes, erect, 

 rigid, compressed, 

 acute, tortuous ; 

 light green, bica- 

 naliculate above, 

 slightly convex be- 

 neath, very smooth ; 

 the intermediate 

 slightly prominent 

 angle, and the mar- 

 gins, crenulated, 

 scabrous ; sheaths 

 cylindrical, about 

 1 in. in length, persistent, torn on the

 there being no plants of it either at Drop- 

 more or in the Horticultural Society's 

 Garden. Indeed, so far as we are aware, 

 it exists in no other collection in Britain, 

 than that of Mr. Lambert at Boyton.
