%1. PINUS TAXIFOLIA 



NOOTKA FIR 



PiNUS TAXIFOLIA, foliis solitanis planis integerrimis, strobilis oblongis, antheris inflato-didymis 



Habitat ad Americas borealis oras occidentales 



DESCRIPTIO. 



Hahitus P. canadensis, at folia angustiora et paululum longiora, integerrima. Amenta masctila ovata, 



L 



subsessilia, multiflora; antheris inflato-didymis, crista reflexa, minima. 



The figure was taken from a specimen in the Banksian herbarium, brought home by Mr. Menzies, 

 by whom it was discovered on the North-west coast of America, and who has favoured me with the 

 following particulars respecting this species. 



In general habit this tree resembles P. ca7iadensis, and attains considerable height and size. The 

 leaves are also very like those of the species just mentioned, but narrower, and their edges are entire, 

 whereas the others are visibly serrated. The inflorescentia is much larger than in P. canadensis and 

 there are more antherse. As for the Cones, I can give no account of them, those which were brought. 

 by Mr. Mcnzies having been unfortunately mislaid. That gentleman however informs me that they 

 difFer in their form from the cones of P. canadensis, and that they are longer. ■
