young shoots are very 
nearly lin. in diameter, and 
look very like those of Fi- 
nus palustris. This noble 
species of pine, worthy of . 
the princely patron of gar- | 
dening in honour of whom |; 
it is named, it is thought 
will probably prove hardy 
in British gardens.

Spec. Char., §c. Leaves 
in fives, very long. Cones 
elongate, horizontal, 
slightly drooping, verti- 
cillate, straightish, sessile. 
Scales rhomboidal at the 
apex, pyramidal, straight, 
obtuse. Seeds oblong, 
four times shorter than 
their blackish wing. 
(ZLindl.) A large tree. 
Mexico, on the road 
from San Pedro to San 
Pablo, near Real del 
Monte. Height,?,. In- 
troduced in 1839, by 
cones sent to the Hor- 
ticultural Society of 
London by Hartweg, 
which have been exten- 
sively distributed, and 
from which many plants 
have been raised. 
The cones are about 
7in. long, 12in. broad at 
the base, and they termi- 
nate in a point; the scales 
are a little elevated, so as 
to form a smali pyramid, 
with a somewhat promi- 
nent apex. The leaves are 
74 in. in length, with sheaths 
of upwards of lin. in 
length. A very noble spe- 
cies, worthy of the house 
of Russell, and of comme- 
morating the publication 4s 
of the Pinetum Woburn sy 
ense. 1879. P. Russellidna.
