972 ARBORETUM ET FRUTICETUM BRITANNICUM. 
1805. P. pingens. 
A tree, with the habit of P. sylvéstris, but with a much more branchy 
head. North Carolina, on high mountains. Height 40 ft. to 50ft. Intro- 
duced in 1804. Flowers in May, and the cones are ripened in November 
of the second year. 
Readily distinguished from P. sylvéstris by the young leaves not being 
glaucous, and by the leaves generally being more straight and rigid, slightly 
serrated at the margins, and with shorter sheaths. The leaves are also 
of a paler green, both when young and full grown; so that the tree, when 
of large size, has nothing of the gloomy appearance attributed to the Scotch 
pine. The cones are of a light yellowish brown colour, without footstalks ; 
and they are generally in whorls of 3 or 4 together, pointing horizontally, and 
remaining on the tree for many years. At Dropmore, there are cones adher- 
ing to the trunk and larger branches of more than 20 years’ growth, giving the 
tree a very singular appearance ; and rendering its trunk easily distinguishable, 
even at a distance, from those of all others of the pine tribe.
