LXXVII. CONI’FERZE: PI‘NUS. 953 
article before quoted, as a remarkable va- 
riety, quite distinct both from P. s. vulgaris 
and P. s. horizontalis. It will be observed 
that this hooked cone is quite different, both 
in its general form, and the form of its 
scales, from the cone of P. (s.) p. Mughus, 
which is also often called P. uncinata. 
? P. s. 4 haguenénsis. Pin de Haguenau, Fr.; 
Rothentanne of Schéttel, seedsman, Ras- 
tadt.—This variety was introduced from the 
Forests of Haguenau (whence its name) and 
Rastadt, on both sides of the Rhine. It 
is thus described in Lawson’s Manual : — 
“ The old trees are remarkably tall, straight, 
free from branches, except near the summit, 
with remarkably smooth reddish-coloured 
bark. The leaves of the young plants are 
longer than those of any of the preceding 
varieties ; they are much waved or twisted, 
of a light green slightly glaucous colour, and 1363: B acunehiia, 
minutely serrulated ; the young terminal buds 
are of a peculiar reddish colour, and generally more or less 
covered with whitish resin. The young plants are, besides their 
difference in shade of colour, readily distinguished by their stronger 
and more rapid growth.” (Agricult, Manual, p. 230. 
? P.s. 5 rigénsis. Pin de Riga, Desf. Hist. t. ii. p. 61.; Pin de Russie, 
Pin de Mature, Fr.— This variety is said to constitute the forests 
of Lithuania and Livonia. 
Other Timber Tree Varieties. The names of several might be given from 
books ; but, as we could neither accompany them with descriptions nor 
synonymes, nor refer to any place where living plants may be seen, we 
consider that it would be of very little use. P. s. altissima, in the Hor- 
ticultural Society’s Garden, is a strong-growing variety, resembling the 
pin de Haguenau, and is probably identical with it, though raised from 
Caucasian seeds ; but P. altfssima is a name more generally applied to P. 
Larfcio than to P. sylvéstris. 
b. Varieties curious or ornamental, 
£ P.». 6 genevénsis. Pin de Tarare, Fr.; the Geneva wild Pine There 
is a plant of this-variety in the Horticultural Society’s Garden, a 
portrait of which is given in Arb. Brit., Ist edit. vol. viii., by which 
it appears to be a low crooked tree, with numerous twisted branches, 
extending considerably at the base. 
£ P.s. 7 monophylla Hodgins. — The leaves are long and glaucous, and 
those of each sheath are generally attached to each other through- 
out their length; though when the points are taken between the 
finger and thumb, and the apparently single leaf twisted, it separates 
into two, and sometimes into three, leaves. Hort. Soc. Garden. 
? P.s. 8 scaridsa. P.scariésa Lodd. Cat, ed. 1836 ; ? P. squamdsa Bose 
Nouv. Cours d’Agr. art. Pin, and Arb. Brit. 1st edit. p. 2292.—Cones 
smal], with long scales, flat at the tips, and bent back. Native of 
the Lower Alps. (Bosc.) A French variety. Introduced about 
1820. 
ft P. s. 9 intermédia.— This is a Russian variety, having slender young 
shoots depressed towards the stem, and leaves shorter and less glau- 
cous than those of the species. Horticultural Society’s Garden.

bour in 1836. Horticultural Society’s Garden.
