Varieties. 



1 P. 8. 2 alba llort. has the leaves and bark much whiter than the

which, in 1837, after being 12 years planted, was 20 ft. high. 

 1 P. 8. 3 brevifolia llort. has shorter leaves. 

 ? P. 8. 4 compresta Booth; P. S. nova Lodd. Cat., ed. 183G; Floetbeck 



Weymouth Pine. — Also much shorter in the leaf, and probably the 



same U P. 8. brevifolia. 



Dk i / tion. A tall tree, which, in America, according to Michaux, varies 

 in height from LOO ft. to 160 ft., with a straight trunk, from about 4 ft. to 6 ft. 

 or 7 ft. in diameter. The trunk is generally free from branches for two thirds 

 or three fourthl of its height; the blanches are short, and in whorls, or 

 led in stages one above another, nearly to the top, which consists of 

 three or four upright branches, forming a small conical head. In rich strong 

 loams, the tree does not grow so high, and assumes ;i more spreading shape; 

 but it is still taller and more Vigorous than most of the trees by which it is 

 mded. Thf hark, on young frees, is smooth, and even polished; but,
