hard, and with a small sharp point, more particularly in the upper part of 
the cone. Seeds oblong, and measuring, without the wing, upwards of 
Zin. in length, and nearly iin. in breadth; with the wing above 13in. in 
length; wing nearly Sin. in breadth. Cotyledons 7 or 8. A large tree. 
South of Europe and Greece ; chiefly in low situations, and sandy soils 
near the sea. Height 50 ft. to 60 ft. sometimes 70 ft. Introduced in 1596. It 
flowers, near London, in the beginning of June; in the North and West of 
France, in May; and on the Landes of Bordeaux, in April; and the cones 
ripen at the end of the second year. 
Varieties. The extensive geographical range of this tree has given rise to 
many varieties, though we have seen but very few that can be considered 
truly distinct.

of the species, but they are equally Jong and strong. The 
cones are shorter, and more ovate. A most distinct and 
handsome variety. Introduced into Britain by the Earl of 
Aberdeen, in 1825,

This variety, which is chiefly distinguished by the somewhat smaller 
size of its cones, being from 33 in. to 4 in. long, and 12 in. broad, is 
said by Bosc to be produced by a colder climate, and to abound on 
the west coast of France, especially on the barren sands in the 
neighbourhood of Mans; and to be hardier than the species. It is 
found in the Landes of Bordeaux, growing along with P. Pinaster.
