42 PINES’ 
allusion has been made in discussing the P. Gerardiana. 
We have also compared it, from a scenic point of 
view, with another Mexican Pine, the five-leaf-in-a- 
cluster P. Montezuma. 
Both it and the P. Teocote are only to be found 
flourishing with us in places of exceptional climatic 
mildness. 
The P. Patula at Carclew, Cornwall (the residence 
of Colonel Tremayne), is perhaps the most attractive 
sight that any Pine can display. It, and the best- 
growing types of the Montezuma—which are, how- 
ever, generally smaller-grown specimens with us— 
would wring a beauty prize from the verdict of any 
esthetic body of jurymen, in any competition of 
Pines. As a timber product it may not acquire merit 
in the eye of the sterner sylviculturist, but an apology 
for its presence anywhere that it will grow is con- 
tained in the verse of Isaiah. It is its own witness. 
The P. TEocore is a shorter-leaved, smaller-coned. 
edition of the Patula. Diligent search on the part 
of Elwes and Henry has, it appears, only resulted in 
finding two or three specimens growing in Cornish 
or S. Irish climates. Only the cosiest of corners, in 
the most comfortable of sheltered positions, will give 
either of them a chance of life with us. 
We are told that ocofe, in Mexican vernacular, 
signifies much the same thing as ¢eda. does in the 
Latin language, and to which we have referred. 
P. Ricipa.— 
Dark behind it rose the forest, 
Rose the black and gloomy pine trees, 
Rose the firs with cones upon them.
