ARBORETUM AND FRUTICETUM. 



PART III. 



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. 



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.y Sfc. Leaves in fives; sheaths deciduous. Cones ovate> JL 

 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 Jig. 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. Pfnea, in. long, and -^ in. 

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