LXXVII. CONI/FERE: PI/CEA. 1045 
Spec. Char., §c, Leaves linear, emarginate, silvery beneath. Cones oblong, 
squarrose. Bracteoles somewhat leafy, obcordate, mucronate, half-exserted, 
reflexed. (Don.) A tree so closely resembling the preceding kind, that it 
is unnecessary to describe 
it. Pursh found it on high 
mountains in Carolina, re- 
sembling, he says, P. bal- 
samea in several respects,

but differing, at first sight, in being a smaller tree, the leaves shorter and 
more erect, and the cones not one fourth the size. Introduced in 181]. 
The original tree is in the Hammersmith 
Nursery, where, in 1837, it was 15 ft. high, 
and had, for two or three years, produced 
cones, but no male catkins. This last circum- 
stance has given rise to the idea that the male 
and female are produced by different trees, 
which is exceedingly improbable. Propagated 
by cuttings.
