The figure in the lOth Plate representing the above species was drawn from a specimen in the 

 Sherardian Herbarium, to which the following note is annexed. 



'' P. maritima foliis tenuissimis, conis albicantibus, brevibus, deorsum reflexis, in superficie sequa- 



libus." Michel.

This tree, so far as I can judge from one growing at Sion House, the only one I have been able to 

 find, grows to the height of about 20 feet. The branches are very numerous, and bear long, filiform 

 leaves, resembling those of P. halepensis, which are more closely connected towards the extremities of 

 the branches. The cones are of nearly the same size as in P. rigida, but rather smaller. They are so 

 remarkably smooth and glossy, that they at once distinguish this species. Those which appear on 

 Shcrard's specimen hang downwards; but those, which I obtained at Sion House, point upwards; 

 one of the latter is represented in plate 10. In shedding their seeds, the cones seem to expand 



very 



little.
