This species was sent by Douglas to the Horticultural 
Society’s Garden in London in 1833, and is said to be of 
vigorous growth, and as hardy as any of the Californian 
Pines. 
The leaves are of a deep grass green, thickly set on the 
branches, of different lengths, and twisted in every direc- 
tion. The leaves in the dried specimen from Douglas, are 
3 to 4| inches long. Cone 3J to 4 inches long. In the 
young growing plant near London, 5 to 7 inches. 
This is, I apprehend, the Pinus resinosa of Hooker, 
Flor. Bor. Am. 2, p. 161, as far as the locality of the north- 
west coast is concerned, for he quotes Douglas as finding 
it growing with P. Lambertiana. It is however, I imagine, 
sufficiently distinct from that well-known species. The 
cone appears to be much larger, and the leaves are in 3’s. 
I cannot perceive any specific distinction between the 
present and the cone described by Don of his P. tuberculata , 
figured by Loudon. It was collected by Dr. Coulter, with 
the following, which it resembles in size and habit, on the 
sea-shore of Monterey. The leaves of this or the follow- 
ing species, which I collected during my very transient 
visit to that place, are usually in 3’s, slender and about
