1006 AKBORETUM ET FRUTICETUM BRITANNICUM. 
1881, P. Montezime. 
£483. P. macropuy’tua Lindl. The long-leaved Pine. 
Identification. Lindl. in Bot. Reg., M. Chron., 1839, No. 98.; Penny Cyc., vol. 18. 
Engravings. Our figs. 1885, 1886. from specimens sent home by Hartweg. 
Spec. Char., &c. Leaves in fives, very long. Cones straight, horizontal, ovate, 
elongate, solitary. Scales transverse at apex, rhomboidal, runcinate. Seeds 
sub-rhomboidal, rugose, four times shorter than testaceous wing. (Lindl. ) 
A small tree. Mexico, on the Ocotillo, one specimen only being found, of 
small size. Height’. Introduced in 1839 by cones sent home by Hartweg, 
from which plants have been raised. 
Differs from P. Russelliana in the longer leaves, and shorter and stouter 
cones, the ends of the scales of which are strongly hooked backwards. They 
are 14 or 15 inches long, very robust, and resemble those of the Pinaster. 
The cones are about 6 in. long, and 3 in. broad at the base ; and the scales are 
hooked backwards like those of P. Coilteri, and very hard. The small size 
of the tree, if that should be its general habit, and the great length of its 
leaves, would seem to render this a very remarkable species. Young plants 
have been raised, but whether they will prove hardy is uncertain.
