cones. I was fayoured by Mr. Loddige of Hackney, with two parcels of cones from America, 

 one under the name of P. nigra, and the other under that of P. ruira ; the former resembhng exactly 

 such as are produced by the trees of that species in England ; the latter very diiFerent, bemg larger, 

 longer, more obtuse, and of a shining reddish brown colour; , the scales semicircular, each divided by a 



■ t 



notch in the middle^ and with the margins entire. 



Although I have made this tree at present a distinct species, I wish to examine all the different parts 



of fructification, when an opportunity offers.
