PINUS PINEA AT DUNGLASS 177 



For part of the information contained in this Paper I 

 am indebted to Mr Adolphus Kent, author of " V^eitch's 

 Manual of the Conifene," 2nd Edition, the standard work 

 on the subject. 



Note. — ^There is another tree, Sciadopitys ver'ticillata, the 

 Umbrella Pine of Japan, which was formerly classed among 

 Yews, but now among the Cryptomerias, Sequoias, and 

 Deciduous Cypresses, which must not be mistaken for Pinus 

 pinea. 



This Japan tree, often to be seen in its infantile stage 

 in this country, is so called because the phylloid shoots 

 which represent leaves spread out like the ribs of an 

 umbrella.
