 however, but as quasi- forms ; and Lawsonii and Relegeana, which latter 

 brace I have not yet seen, nor been able to get hold of; and for the 

 other 116 of these I^ew Pines " I refer the reader to the alphabetical 

 list, where their names will be found ; and where they are referred to 

 as synonyms of the species to which they belong.

BACCIFER^. 



Berry and Fruit-bearing Pines. 



Flowers, male and female, in some species they are together, in 

 some they are separate ; in some species on the same plant, while in 

 others they are upon separate plants ; in most species they are solitary, 

 in some in bunches, in others in spikes. 



Leaves, variously formed : awl-shaped, needle-shaped, fan-shaped, 

 flat, lanceolate, linear, three-sided, or scale-formed, variously disposed; 

 alternate, opposite, scattered, four-rowed, five-rowed, spreading, solitary, 

 two-rowed, ternate, or in whorls ; some closely inlaying or imbricated 

 along the stem-shoots, having long, medium, or short footstalks; while 

 in some species they are minus footstalks. 



Berries or Fruits, these are in most of the species baccce, or 

 berries ; in some they are nuces, or nuts ; and in others cuj^elli^ or 

 acorns ; some with succulent and some with dry, leathery carpels ; and 

 in at least one species the fruit is composed of consolidated, yet free 

 scales, forming a solid, fleshy berry. Some have crustaceous, or bony 

 shells ; some have their toj^s bare and their base ensconced in cups ; 

 others, again, have smooth, fleshy exteriors, while some have their fruit 

 rough and dry on the surface. In form various : globular, conic, ovate, 

 round, oblong, squarrose, drupaceous. Generally singly ; yet, in several 

 species they are in twos, threes, and sometimes more together in a 

 bunch ; while in a few they are in clusters. 



The Seeds are variously formed, having crustaceous, or bony shells ;
