Pinus sylvestris E. of T. p. 951. A. B. p. 2153., the Scotch Pine, or Scotch 

 Fir. Height 60 — 100 ft. 6rf. The tree of death and mourning in 

 Russia is the pine, which may be called the Northern Cypress. The poor 

 strew the coffin, at the time of exhibiting the corpse, with pine twigs ; 

 and, at the funerals of the wealthy, the whole way from the house to the 

 churchyard is thickly strewed with branches of the same tree. Hence 

 those streets of Petersburg through which funerals frequently pass are 

 almost always covered with this sign of mourning. (^KoWs Russia, vol. i.
