surface, and cylindrical, with 
a rib below ; sheaths short, 
and caducous. Cones small, 
consisting of very few scales, 
which are about 1 in. long, 
roundish and obtuse. The 
scales are keel-shaped be- 
low, deeply concave, with

two deep receptacles for the 
seeds. Seeds without wings, 
of an egg shape reversed, 
dark grey or brownish, 
about 6 or 7 lines long, and 1360. P. Liaveana. 
about 4 lines thick at the 
upper end, but diminishing in size towards the lower extremity, which is 
obtuse. (Schlecht. in Linnea, \.c.) Alow tree. Mexico, between Zimapan 
and Real del Oro, in forests; and also occasionally cultivated in gardens 
for the seeds, as the stone pine is in Italy, and the neoza pine in the 
Himalayas. Height 20ft. to 30ft. Introduced in 1830, and quite hardy 
in British gardens. 
The seeds are edible, and very well tasted; and they are sold in Mexico 
under the name of Pinones, as those of the stone pine are in Italy under the 
name of Pinocchi. The young tree is of a very singular and beautiful charac- 
ter, and will doubtless soon find a place in every collection.
