arc mole plants. 



These and the 

 plants of Mr. 



Douglas have 



been carefully 



compared with 



European ones 



iound growing 



on the i/unipe- 



rus Oxvcedrus, 



some from the 



south of France 



(in Languedoc, 



gathered by M. 



Bory de Saint 



Vincent), and 



others fromMt. 



Caucasus, com- 

 municated to 



me by Mr.Pres- 

 cott,and I must 

 confess, I can- 

 not perceive any 



specific differ- 

 ence in them 

 whatever. In 



general, but not 

 always, those 

 from the old 

 world are ei- 

 ther greener or 

 blacker when 

 dry; and the 

 American more 

 yellow.*( Hook. 

 Fl. Bor. Arner., 

 i. p. 278.) Pi- 

 nus po nderdsa, 

 which is, per- 

 haps, more har- 

 dy than the pi- 

 naster, and is 

 of equally rapid 



growth, has a noble appearance, even when a young tree ; and, together 

 with P. Sab'miana and P. Coulten, equally noble trees, and apparently as 

 hardy and of as rapid growth, well deserves a place in every pinetum.
