Description. A straight middle-sized tree, about 40 ft. high. Cones 

 in clusters (2 or 3), unequally-sided, ovate, about 3 in. long; scales wedge- 

 shaped, very thick ; dilated at the apex, obsoletely 4-angled, mucronated with 

 an elevated umbilicus ; elongated at the external base, compressed on both 

 sides, callous, rigid, smooth, shining, recurved, and spreading. (D. Don.) A 

 native of California, at San Luis, where it is called Obispo (the bishop) 

 growing at the height of 3000 ft. above the level of the sea. Professor Don 

 informs us that the cones grow 2 or 3 together ; and adds, that he had not 

 seen the leaves of this, or of P. tuberculata and P. radiata, but that he thinks 

 it is probable that, like the greater part of the American pines, they grow 

 in threes." (Lin. Trans, and Lamb. Phi.)

Spec, Char., fyc. ? Leaves 

 in threes. Cones ob- 

 long, with unequal sides, 

 crowded. Scales qua- 

 drangular, and truncate 

 at the apex, with a de- 

 pressed umbilicus; those 

 at the exterior base 

 larger, elevated, and con- 

 ical. (D. Don.) Cones, 

 in Lambert's figure, 

 4 in. long, and 2 in.

 fornia, at Monte-Rey 

 on the sea shore. 

 Description. A tree 



about 100 ft. high. Cones 



oblong, 3 in a cluster, 



of a tawny grey, 4 in. 



long, 2| in. broad ; scales 



wedge-shaped, dilated at 



the apex, quadrangular, 



truncate, with a depressed 



umbilicus ; larger at the 



external base, conical with 



an elevated apex. (D. 



Don.) Found by Dr. 



Coulter, along with P. 



radiata, which it resembles 



in size and habit, but is 



essentially distinguished 



by the form of its cones.
