were killed by the winter of 
1837-8 ; but one plant at 
Elvaston Castle stood that 
winter without protection. 
This has also been the case 
with some plants in the neigh- 
bourhood of London.

Spec. Char., Sc. Leaves in twos and threes. Cones much longer than the 
leaves. (Lois.) This tree grows in the neighbourhood of Monte-Rey, in 
Califorma. Its cone is in the form of that of P. Pinaster, but one third 
larger in all its parts. Under each of the scales are found two seeds of the 
size of those of P. Cémbra, and of which the kernel is good to eat. A 
plant of this pine in the Horticultural Society’s Garden, named there P. 
montheragénsis, which was received from M. Godefroy about 1829, formed 
a stunted bush, 3 ft. high, and 4 or 5 feet broad, but it died in the winter 
of 1837-8. A very doubtful species.
