In our last number (plant 968) will be found 
obseiwations on the word Pinus. Pallasiana was 
given as a specific name to the coniferous tree now 
figured, by Mr. Lambert. Pallas, who was an emi- 
nent Russian botanist, \dsited England in 1761 — 2, 
and subsequently published his travels, and several 
works on botanical subjects. 
Under 968 we have published Pinus laricio, and 
have thought it best to follow that by Pinus Pal- 
lasiana, inasmuch as this tree is generally consi- 
dered to be a variety of Laricio. We find it stated 
in the Arboretum Britannicum, that “ Pinus Pal- 
lasiana is confined to the central regions of the 
Crimea, forming considerable forests on the wes- 
tern declivity of the chain of lofty mountains which 
extend along the coast of the Black Sea. It was 
first introduced into England by Messrs. Lee and 
Kennedy, of the Hammersmith Nursery, who raised 
a number of plants from seeds sent to them by 
Professor Pallas, from the Crimea, about 1790, 
and it was sold by them as Pinus tatarica. Of 
these plants, some were planted at Boyton, about 
1793, of which a few sur\'ive, and form trees
