These trees bear so close a resemblance S Ne ; 
to P, A‘ria, as to leave no doubt in our y 
mind that they are only varieties and 
subvarieties of that species. They are 
found in a wild state in France, Germany, 
and Sweden; and perhaps also in the 
Highlands of Scotland, where, according 
to Sir W. J. Hooker, P. A‘ria varies in 
having the leaves more or less cut at the 
margin. They are all well deserving of cul- y 
ture. 781. P.(A.) intermédia angustifolia.
