plant in the Horticultural Society’s Garden, both of the natural size; and fig. 1779., to our usual 
scale, from a tree growing, in 1837, at Woodside, near Hatfield, the residence of John Church, Esq. 
Spec, Char., §c. Leaves long, in tufts at the extremities of the shoots; 
branches dispersed, naked, scaly when young. Cones conical, 
smooth, and a little recurved, seeds hard. (Lap.) The tree when 
young somewhat resembles P. halepénsis, but when older it assumes 
a much higher stature, and a more pyramidal form. The cones are, 
like those of P. halepénsis, on strong footstalks ; but, instead of 
pointing downwards, they are always in a horizontal direction. The 
leaves are long and fine; but strong and upright, and arranged round 
the branches like the hairs of a camel-hair pencil, whence the name 
of pin pinceau. They are sometimes three in a sheath, on the 
young shoots. (Ann. de la Soc. d’Hort. de Paris, xiii. p. 186.) A 
majestic tree. Spain, in the extensive forests of the Sierra de 
Segura, and other places. Height 60 ft. to 80ft. Introduced in 
1834. It flowers in May, and its cones are ripened in the November 
of the second year. 
Captain Cook, who introduced this pine, describes it as quite hardy, of quick 
growth, and from its nobie appearance, the beauty of its furm, and the clear

transparent colour of both the bark and foliage, likely to bea vast acquisition 
to our park scenery. The timber is white and dry, being nearly without tur- 
pentine; but the cones exude a most delicious balsamic odour, as do the 
leaves. H. 8S.
