culate above, flattish beneath, smooth ; angles 



slightly serrated, furnished with conspicuous 



dotted lines, wavy, not flexuose ; light green, 



4 in. long; sheaths composed of many ligulate, 



ciliated, and torn, bright brown, loosely obvo- 



lute, caducous scales. Cones ovate, pendulous, 



2 in. long, on a very short, thick, peduncle ; 



scales dilated at the apex, trapezoidal, truncate, 



depressed, a little hollowed; in the young cone, 



elongated and mucronate. Seeds small ; wing 



oblong, brown. (Lamb.) This species was 



discovered by MM. Schiede and Deppe ; and 



Mr. Lambert's figure was taken from speci- 

 mens communicated by them. The leaves, 



Mr. Lambert says, are precisely those of the 



Strobus tribe, with which this species also 



agrees in having a caducous sheath. Mr. 



Lambert sent seeds to Dropmore; 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 pro- 

 tection. Fig. 2187. is a portrait of one of 

 the Dropmore trees, which, in 1837, was 14 ft. 

 high. 



J xiv. Cembrae. 



Sect. Char. Leaves short, nearly straight, with longitudinal silvery channels. 

 Cone, with the scales not thickened at the apex, globose, about as long as 

 the leaves.

Spec. Char., $c. Leaves in fives ; sheaths deciduous. Cones ovate* 

 erect, about as long as the leaves, and having, when young, the scales 

 pubescent ; the wings of the seed obliterated ; anthers having a 

 kidney-shaped crest. (Lois.) Buds, in the Dropmore specimens, 

 from in. to fin. broad; globose, with a long narrow point; white, 

 and without resin ; not surrounded by smaller buds (see fig. 2188.) 

 Cones about 3 in. long, and 2 in. broad. Scales 1 in. long, and 

 about the same width in the widest part. Seed larger than that of 

 any other species of Pinus, except P. Pinea, in. long, and -^ in. 

 broad in the widest part, somewhat triangular, and wedge-shaped; 2188
