FIG. 40. Female Cone of the Monterey Pine of California (Pinus 

 insignis). Of the natural size, but somewhat larger specimens 

 are frequent. The characteristic three foliage needles in a 

 bunch, in place of two or five distinctive of some other species 

 of Pinus, are shown in the drawing on the left. (From 

 Veitch's " Manual of Coniferae.")
