SABINE’S OR PRICKLY-CONED PINE. 
Ill 
except that they left behind a slight resinous taste. They 
are of a roundish oblong form and about nine-tenths of an 
inch long by half an inch broad, being much larger than 
the seed of the following species. 
The leaves grow together in 3’s rarely in 4’s, and are 11 
to 14 inches in length, serrulated on the margin, the 
sheath of the leaves 1| inches long. The cone very 
resinous, ovate, recurved, pressing on the branch for sup- 
port, growing 3 to 9 in a verticillated cluster, and remain- 
ing on the tree for a number of years; 9 to 11 inches long 
and 16 to 18 inches round. The scales of the cone are 
spathulate, 2£ inches long, with a strong, sharp, incurved 
point, which, near the base of the cone, exceeds the length 
of the scale. The wing of the seed is short, stiff, and 
about one-fourth its length. The seed leaves are 7 to 
12 . 
It was named by Mr. Douglas in honour of the late 
Mr. Joseph Sabine, Secretary of the Horticultural Society 
of London. I had not the satisfaction of seeing this tree 
during my visit to Oregon. The species in the gardens 
round London appears to be as hardy as the Pinus 
pinaster.
