It  is  undesirable  to  put  male  and  female  specimens  on 
the  same  sheet,  or,  if  done,  it  should  be  stated  which  the 
fohage  belongs  to.  Here  the  $  specimens  are  probably 
from  the  same  stock  as  the  leaves,  which  are  correctly 
labelled  as  S.  Smithiana  Willd.,  var.  rugosa.  But  the  $ 
fruiting  specimens  are  unmitigated  S.  cinerea  L. _ E.F.L.

ly  18.  So  far  as  I  know,  P.  canescens  Sm.  in  this  district 
occurs  only  as  a  ^  tree.  One  is  led  to  infer  that  it  is  not 
here  a  native.  Will  some  member  next  year  send  the  2 
tree  ? — J-  Little.  Yes,  P.  canescens  Sm.— C.E.M.

Exactiy  the  same  as  the  tree  now  called  P.  marilandica 
at  Kew  which  is  believed  to  be  of  the.  above  parentage. 
It  appears  to  be  the  P.  canadensis  of  Hartig  and  other 
German  dendrologists.— A.B.J.  This  is  the  -  P.  deltoidea 
X  nigra,  (A)  x  P.  canadensis  ”  of  the  “  Camb.  Brit.  FI.” 
II.,  12  (1914).  It  agrees  with  the  description  of  P 
canadensis  of  both  Monch  and  Hartig,  but  not  with  the 
description  of  P.  marilandica  Poir. — C.E.M.

A.  J.  Crosfield.  Yes,  but  collected  too  late  to  show  the 
shoot-buds  which  in  winter  afford  a  useful  distinguishing 
character  in  this  genus.  This  species  has  been  extensively 
planted  in  some  parts  of  England,  particularly  about 
Bournemouth,  where  it  reproduces  itself  freely  from  seed. 
—A.B.J.  This  is  a  seedling  plant  without  roots  of  P. 
1 master  Alton.  This  pine  in  the  seedling  stage  has  much 
shorter  and  more  slender  leaves  than  in  the  adult  stage.
