t. 9, vol. i. ed. 1, folio, represents Laricio, tliongli called mar'itima. 

 His t. 10, vol. i., shoe's a detached cone with prominent apophysis = 

 the P. halepensis var. 3 of Tenore, -while the cone on the branch has 

 a flat apophysis, like Brutia. 



What follows is taken from the " Pinetum Woburnense," p. 27 : — 

 The Calabrian Pine "bears a strong similarity to the P. maritima 

 of Lambert, as well as to the P. halepensis, but is readily distinguished 

 from either of these species by its much longer wavy leaves, which 

 vary from 3 to 5 inches in length, whilst those of the above-mentioned 

 species are seldom above half the size. The cones of the P. Brutia are 

 also quite (nearly) sessile, growing in large clusters (or singly) 'surround- 

 ing the stem. A splendid figure of this is given in Mr. Lambert's 

 third volume of his ' Genus Pinus,' in which he says that ' Sprengel 

 has even referred it to P. Pinaster, not even allowing it the rank of 

 a variety ; but no two species can be more distinct. The leaves in 

 Pinaster are straight, rigid, twice as stout, and disposed in interrupted 

 verticils ; and the cones are double the size, with the scales elevated 

 and angular. The specimen represented in the plate was obligingly 

 communicated to me by the Hon. William T. H. Fox-Strangways, 

 L'nder-Secretary of State for Foreign Aftairs, who received it from 

 Professor Tenore.' It, however, appears to me to be more nearly 

 allied to the P. lialepmsis than to any other of the species. The 

 Woburn collection is indebted for this new and valuable Pine to the 

 Right Hon. the Earl of Mountmorres, who, I believe, was the first 

 that raised it from seed in this country, and kindly sent a couple of 

 i^lants of it, along with a valuable collection of other plants, to 

 Woburn. It is a native of Calabria (the ancient Brutium), where it 

 attains a considerable size, and produces timber of a very superior 

 cjuality." 



This tree has been highly spoken of for the purposes of reaff'orest- 

 ing the Karst and the Adriatic coast (31. T. M. in the Gardeners' 

 Chronicle, Sept. 8, 1888, p. 267).

 P. Jlexilis var. rcflexa, Engelm. in Rothrock's Rep. Bot. Exped. 

 Wheeler. 



Habitat. — High mountains of South-Avestern Xew Mexico (Greene, 

 Rusby), to the Santa Rita IMountains (Rothrock, Engelmann, and 

 Sargent), and Santa Catalina Mountains (Lemmon, Pringle), Arizona. 



A tree 80-100 feet in height, with a trunk sometimes exceeding 

 2 feet in diameter ; rocky ridges and slopes of almost inaccessible 

 canons between 6,000 and 8,000 feet elevation (C. S. Sargent). 



Is perhaps not hardy in Denmark.
