Habitat. — The Mediterranean region, from Portugal, Spain, and 

 South-east France to the Levant ; also Western Asia as far as Georgia, 

 and even Persia ; on Mount Hebron in Palestine, and other parts of 

 Syria (Carr. 506). 



Introduced into England in 1763 by Bishop Compton, 



Is perhaps not quite hardy, although a young plant stood the 

 winter of 1890-91 out of doors.

Introduced into Europe in 1839. 



Habitat. — Mexico. Hartweg discovered it on the Campanario 

 Mountains at an elevation of about 10,000 feet ; it is to be found 

 there even where the "Oyamel" (Abies religiosa) disappears. Further, 

 this Pine is found on the mountains of Orizaba and near Real del 

 Monte, and there the tree attains a height of 100 feet. 



As far as I know it has not yet been cultivated in Denmark. I 

 have cones in my collection.
