1886. P. macrophylla. 1887. P. Psetido-Strdbus. 
? 44, P. Pseu'po-StroBus Lindl. The False-Strobus, or False Weymouth, 
Pine. 
Identification. Lindi. in Bot. Reg., M. Chron., 1839, No. 99. 
Engravings. Our figs. 1887, 1888. from specimens sent home by Hartweg. 
Spec. Char.,§c. Leaves in fives, very slender, glaucescent. Cones oval, verti- 
cillate, horizontal. Scales rhomboidal at apex, pyramidal, erect, straightish, 
with a transverse elevated line. Seeds oval, four or five times shorter than 
the blackish wing. (Lindl.) A tree. Mexico, at Anganguco, 8000 ft. 
above the sea. Height ?. Introduced in 1839, by cones sent home by Hart- 
weg, from which many plants have been raised. 
The leaves are five, and glaucous like those of the Weymouth pine; but 
the cones differ in being thickened at the apex, in the manner of other Mexican 
pines. The cones are between 4 and 5 inches long, by 14in. in diameter at 
the middle, pointed and curved. 
2 45, P, rrurro‘Lia Lindi, The thread-leaved Pine. 
Identification. Lindl. in Bot. Reg, 1840, M. R., No. 132.; Gard. Mag., 1840, p. 639. 
Engravings. Our figs. 1889, 1890. in p. 1010, 1011. from specimens sent home by Hartweg. 
Spec. Char., §c. Branches rigid, thick. Scales of the bud linear, very 
acuminate, and with very long cilie. Leaves in fives, very long (12 ft.) 
acutely triangular ; sheaths long, smooth, persistent. Cones elongate, ob- 
tuse, 7 or 8 inches in length; scales with lozenge-shaped, depressed, pyra- 
midal apices, and terminating in a callous obtuse mucro. (Lindi.) A noble 
tree, with branches as stout as those of P. australis or stouter. Guatemala, 
on the Volcan del Fuego. Introduced in 1840 by the Horticultural Society. 
H. 8. \ 
The leaves of this species are from 12in. to 13 or 14 inches in length, 
which is longer than those of any other pine previously discovered. Abun- 
dance of plants of it have been raised in the Horticultural Society’s Garden, 
and other plaées; but it is to be feared that they will not prove hardy in 
the climate of London.
