sombre appearance when old; and '^Wo-matsu" (male Pine), 

 on account of the numerous clusters of male aments produced 

 on the adult trees. 



The Chinese apply the term " Kok-sung" (black Pine), on 

 account of its dark- green appearance; and '^ Sjo-mats" (com- 

 mon Pine), from its abundance. Siebold also mentions tv/o 

 varieties of it as being cultivated in_the gardens of Japan, one 

 called " Siruga-matsu" (the variegated Pine), which is much 

 cultivated on account of its singular appearance ; the other the 

 " Pitots-matsu" (single-leaved Pine), a very singular-looking 

 variety, only found in cultivation, with the leaves in each sheath 

 so united all their length as to appear but one leaf. Timber 

 excellent, and of a deep-red colour.

The Japanese call this Pine " Wo," or " 0-Matsu" (male 

 Pine), and " Kuro-Matsu" (black Pine), and the Chinese, " Kok- 

 sung-mats" (common black Pine), on account of its dark ap- 

 pearance. The Pin d^Edough of the French is also Pinus 

 Pinaster (or a slight modification of it, probably owing to cli- 

 mate), with the cones more or less exuding resinous tears 

 externally, and foujtid abundantly in the great forest of Edough, 

 near Bona, in Algeri.i.
