History f Use, Propagalion, Culture, 
inhabitants cut o(F this top, take out the white heart of two or three inches in diameter, consisting of the 
leaves closeiy folded together, and eat it, either raw with pepper and salt, or fried with butter like the 
artichoke. 
2010. Beli.<i. Named by R. A. Salisbury, in the Transactions of the Linnean Society, from fieAo?, a javelin, on 
account of the form and texture of the leaves, which are not unlike a javelin head. li. lanceolata is a beautiful 
evergreen shrub, with distichous neat leaves, easily cultivated in any good conservatory. 
2011. Agathis. From tx,ya,B-ii, a cluster, because the flowers are collected in clusters. This genus is formed 
of the Dammar Pines, of which the A. australis, or New Zealand Cowdie Pine, is one of the finest trees m the 
world, often growing perfectly straight to the height of 100 feet or more, and yielding one of best descriptions 
of wood for masts. 
2012. Pinus. This name is of Celtic origin, and is the same in all the dialects of that tongue. Pin or pen, 
a rock or mountain, has given rise to pin, in Armorican ; peinge, in Erse ; pinua, in Welsli ; pinu, in Anglo- 
Saxon ; pine, in English ; pynbaum, in German ; all signifying the fir-tree : hence also the Appennines (Alpes 
pennines), Pennafiel, Pennaflor, &c. towns of Spain embosomed in mountains. The fruit of P. Pinea was 
formerly called Nnx pinea, the pine nut. Pinaster is Phny s name for the wild pine. Cembra is an alteration 
of the word cembro or cirmolo, the name given by the inhabitants of Trentin and Valteline to the plant. 
Tseda is derived from the Greek ^a; icclo;, which signifies a torch, for which the wood of P. tieda is particularly 
adapted. Strobus is a name employed by Pliny for an eastern tree, which was used to perfume apartments. 
The moderns have applied it to a noble North American species. 
The trees which compose this genus are not less remarkable for their grandeur and beauty, than for their 
valuable tim'jer. They are all evergreens, and of lofty and erect growth. The trunk of the Scotch pine is more 
generally employed and more universally applicable as timber than any other tree in the temperate zone of 
the northern hemisphere. P. sylvestris. Pin, Fr., Keifer or Fdhre, Ger., and Pina, Ital., is erroneously called 
a fir ; and has the term Scotch applied to it, because it is the only species of the genus indigenous to Britain, and 
there only in the northern parts of Scotland. It is also indigenous in the Alps, in the north of Germany, 
Russia, and abundantly so in Sweden and Norway. The finest pine woods in Britain, are at Invercauld in 
Inverness-shire, and Gordon Castle in Aberdeenshire. The timber of the Scotch pine is the red or yellow 
deal of the north of Europe, and is the most durable and valuable of any of the genus, unless we except, in 
point of durability, the larch. That grown in cold elevated situations in the highlands of Scotland, is found to 
be not inferior in quality to any imported from Norway ; but that which has been planted in the low districts, 
is greatly inferior in point of durability, and can seldom be used in house carpentry and joinery. The tree is 
of great value as a nurse plant to others less hardy. The trunk of the tree produces resin by. incision, and the 
roots tar by distillation. Several varieties of the wild pine have been noticed by botanists. According to 
Sang, the variety commonly cultivated is least worth the trouble. " The P. sylvestris, var. montana," he says, 
" is the variety which yields the red wood : even young trees of this sort are said to become red in their wood 
and full of resin very soon. The late Mr. Don, of Forfar, exhibited specimens of cones of each variety to the 
Highland Society of Scotland, and likewise to the Caledonian Horticultural Society. The variety preferred by 
Don, is distinguished by the disposition of its branches, which are remarkable for their horizontal direction, 
and for a tendency to bend downwards close to the trunk. The leaves are broader and shorter than in the 
common kind, and are distinguishable at a distance by their much lighter and beautiful glaucous appearance.
