$92 ARBORETUM ET FRUTICETUM BRITANNICUM. 
® 
The figure of the cone of P. Teocdte, in Ard. 
Brit., lst edit. p. 2266., does not exactly agree 
with the cones sent home by Hartweg, and 
therefore we have omitted it 
in this abridgement. 
Branchlets very leafy, with 
a persistent epidermis. Buds 
imbricated, with lanceolate, 
acuminate, ciliate, and torn 
scales. Leaves in threes, 
erect, rigid, compressed,

acute, tortuous ; light green, 
bicanaliculate above, slightly 
convex beneath, very smooth; 
the intermediate slightly pro- 
minent angle, and the mar- 
gins, crenulated, scabrous. 
Sheaths cylindrical, about 
1 in. in length, persistent, 
torn on the margin. Cones 
ovate-oblong, drooping, and 
smoothish, scarcely 3 in. 
Jong. Scales dilated at the 
apex, somewhat trapezoidal, much depressed; in the young cones always 
mutic. (Lamb.) — This, till lately, was a very rare species ; there having been 
no plants of it either at Dropmore or in the Horticultural Society’s Garden. 
Indeed, so far as we are aware, it existed in no collection in Britain, but 
that of Mr. Lambert at Boyton, till 1840.
