LXXVII. CONI’FERE: PI'Nus. 995 
SS 
a 
1862. P. canariénsis. 
Seeds in. long, and -3; in. broad, flat, pointed at both extremities; with 
the wing 12in. long, and 4 in. broad at the widest part; colour a 
whitish brown. Cotyledons,?’. The tree throws 
out abundance of shoots and tufts of leaves from a 
the dormant buds in the trunk and larger branches, 
more especially at places where any branches have 
been cut off. A large tree. Teneriffe and Grand 
Canary, at 5000 ft. to 7000 ft. of elevation. Height 
60 ft. to 70ft. Introduced ? 1759, and: requiring 
protection in British Gardens. 
This species, P. longifolia, and P. leiophylla bear 
a close general resemblance, and are all rather tender ; 
but, when the leaves and buds are examined closely, 
their specific difference becomes obvious. They are 
all readily propagated by cuttings of the young shoots 
which are thrown out by the trunks, planted in sand, 
and covered with a hand-glass, but without bottom 
heat. They all require protection, even in our mildest 
winters, and should be placed in a conservatory devoted 
entirely to half-hardy Abiétine. Lambert states that 
this species differs from P. longifolia chiefly. in the 1863. P. canariénsis.
