raised in the Chis'wick Garden since Oct. 1838. 7 



as a hardy tree from 60 ft. to 80 ft. high, found on the Ocotillo, 

 between Real del Monte and Regla. Dr. Lindley has given it 

 the above name, in compliment to His Grace the Duke of Devon- 

 shire, P.H.S. The seeds have vegetated freely. 



Vinus MusseUmna LindL, Botanical Reg. MisceL 97. 1839. 

 Leaves 5 in a sheath. This fine pine has the leaves five in a 

 sheath, and rather slender. The cones are about 8 in. long, 

 2 in. broad at the base, and terminating in a point, with the 

 scales elevated into a small pyramid. It was found by M. 

 Hartweg on the road from San Pedro to San Pablo, and by 

 him transmitted to the Society, and the seeds have been largely 

 distributed to the Fellovv's of the Society. Dr. Lindley has 

 named it in compliment to the late Duke of Bedford. The 

 seeds have grown freely. 



Fmus macro-phylla Lindl., Bot. Reg. Miscel. 98. 18S9. Leaves 

 5 in a sheath. This splendid pine seems to be very scarce, as 

 M. Hartweg only found one small tree. The leaves on the spe- 

 cimens sent home are vafives^ 14? or 15 inches long, very robust, 

 and resembling those of the pinaster. The cones are about 6 in. 

 long, and 3 in. broad at the base, tapering to a point ; the scales 

 are strongly hooked backwards, like those of Pinus Coulter//, 

 and are very hard. The seeds have grown remarkably well. 



Pmus PseudoStrobus Lindl., Bot. Reg. Miscel. 99. 1839. 

 Leaves 5 in a sheath. This is another of M. Hartweg's very 

 valuable new pines, with the leaves in fives, about 6 in. long, 

 glaucous, and very slender. The cones are about 5 in. long, 

 pointed, and curved^ with the scales nearly flat. It is very com- 

 mon at Anganguco, about 8000 ft, above the sea, and no doubt 

 will prove quite capable of enduring even such severe winters as 

 that of 1837-8. The seeds have grown well. 



Pmus apidcensis Lindl., Bot. Reg. Miscel. 100. 1839. Leaves 

 5 in a sheath. This very distinct species has the leaves in fives, 

 much shorter than any of the preceding, and very glaucous. The 

 cones are also much smaller, being rather larger than a hen's egg ; 

 they are ovate, covered closely with pyramidal elevations, which 

 are sometimes prolonged into a hook, particularly those nearest 

 the base and point. M. Hartweg found it growing 50 ft. high 

 in the ravines near Apulco. {Don, in the last edition of Sweet's 

 Hort. Brit., has called this P. acapulcensis, but probably by 

 mistake.) 



Vhius oocarpa Schiede, Bot. Reg. Miscel. 23. 1839, Gard. 

 Mag. vol. XV. p. 237. fig. 44. Leaves 5 in a sheath. This spe- 

 cies has the leaves about 8 or 10 inches long, very slender, and 

 five in a sheath. The cones ai'e egg-shaped (as the name implies), 

 very hard, above the middle size, and the scales slightly elevated 

 and very smooth, having the appearance of being varnished. The 

 cones are mostly solitary. It was found by M. Hartweg, near
