 PiNUS Cembra monophylla, Carriere, the One-leaved Cembra 



Pine. 

 This very singular variety of the Siberian Stone Pine has 

 much slenderer branchlets, and the leaves so compressed, or 

 adhering together along their whole length, in each sheath or 

 set, as to appear but one leaf. 



It is of French origin, and veiy curious.

throughout the whole Himalayas. Dr. Griffith states its most 



eastern limits to be Bhotan, where it is called "Lumshing," 



and its most western locality to be on the mountains of Kafir- 



istan, near Jalalabad, where it is called *' Piunee." It has not 



hitherto been met with in Sikkim, and appears to be wholly 



wanting in Central and N.W. Kumaoon, but is the uppermost 



and only Pine met with in the ascent to the Neetee Pass in 



Gurhwall, at an elevation of 11,000 feet, and on both the north 



and south faces of the Lamakaga Passes ; while, according to 



Capt. Gerard, its superior limit on the snowy range of Leem 



is at an elevation of 12,000 feet, and its lowest one, near Deo- 



rah, in Joobul, only 5,000 feet, thus fixing the extreme limits 



of Pinus excelsa at from 5,000 to 12,000 feet of elevation. 



Again, Mr. Winterbottom traced it to the mountains of Gilgit, 



beyond Cashmere, its most northern habitat hitherto ascer-
