p. 833.— In the shoots and foliage, it bears so strong a resemblance 
to P. (s.) pumilie, that we doubt very much if it even merits to be 
considered as a variety of that species. In- 8

is included by Aiton and others in the pre- 
ceding one; but, having seen both sorts 
bearing cones, we are satisfied that they are 
distinct, though they bear so close a resem- 
blance to each other in foliage and habit, 1766. P. (s.) Ming hua
