Californian or Mexican pine hitherto described.

(Tab. LVII.) Mountains east of San Diego, California; Parry. One of the largest of the 
California pines, being often from 60 to 100 feet high, and the trunk 2 to 4 feet in diameter. 
It is remarkable for its spreading branches, and for its large heavy cones with strong hooked 
scales. The nuts are large and edible. Immense quantities of them are collected by the Cali- 
fornia and Oregon Indians, who depend upon them for a large portion of their winter food. 
Pinus ToRREYANA (Parry MSS.) : foliis quinis elongatis (6-9-апс) rigidis, vaginis squamosis 
(5—10-lin.) strobilis subglobosis, squamarum apophysi elongato-pyramidata deflexa, umbone 
continuo obtuso subrecurvo. (Tas. БУШ and LIX.) Bluffs near the mouth of Solidad creek, 
10 miles north of San Diego, California; Parry. A small tree, seldom more than 20 or 30 
feet high, with a trunk 12 to 15 inches in diameter ; often almost prostrate from its being exposed 
to strong ocean gales. Bark of the young branches whitish ; the lower part of the trunk scaly. 
Branches horizontal, but curved upward towards the extremity. Leaves stouter than in any 
other North American pine, rough on the margin, abruptly pointed, the sheaths nearly two 
lines in diameter and an inch and a half long in the young leaves. Cones conical-globose, about 
41 inches long. Seeds, without the wing, three-fourths of an inch long, with a thick bony 
shell. This is the only pine of the section Pseudo-strobus found within the limits of our flora. 
P. Apulcensis which resembles it, differs in its more slender and shorter leaves, and ovate 
smaller cones, &c. It is also allied to P. Orizabe, Gordon in Lond. Hort. Jour. 1, р. 281 cum 
icon,, but that has very slender leaves, which are extremely rough on the angle, and ovate cones.

TAXODIUM DISTICHUM, Rich. Conif. p. 52, t. 10. Cupressus ad Linn.; Micha. f. Sylv. 2, 
p. 329, t. 151. Valley of the Rio Grande below the mouth of Los Moros, in western Texas, 
Cohahuila, and Neuvo Leon. (No. 2213, Berlandier.) Below the Salado this noble tree is often 
seen in theriver itself, sometimes where the water is 16 feet deep and the current strong ; Schott. 
Dr. Bigelow found it at Santa Rosa, Cohahuila, flowering in January. 
SEQUOIA SEMPERVIRENS, Indl. Conif. р. 198; Newberry, 1. c. p. 51, fig. 23. Taxodium semper- 
virens, Lamb. Pin. (ed. 2) 2, t. 64. Woods in the Coast Range of mountains east of Monterey, 
south of which it is very rare. This is the celebrated redwood of California; the most valuable 
timber tree of that State. 
J UNIPERUS TETRAGONA, Schlecht. var. osTEOSPERMA, Torr. in Whippl. Hep. p. 141. Dry rocky 
places, San Felipe, &c., California; Parry. A much branched shrub of regular conical form, 
6—13 feet high. 
JUNIPERUS PACHYPHLEA, Torr. l. c. Hill sides, western Texas, New Mexico, Chihuahua, and

When unusually large it sometimes contains 4 and even 5 seeds.
