TWISTED-BRANCHED PINE. 
117 
Of the Pinus Californiana of Loiseleur Deslongchamps 
in the Nouveau Duhamel, 5, p. 243, too little is known to 
consider it as a well defined species. As a tree it is pro- 
bably identic with one or other of the preceding species, 
being observed in the neighbourhood of Monterey, and 
seeds were collected by the gardener Callignon in the expe- 
dition of La Peyrouse. The cone producing eatable seeds 
like the Cembra, is, however, a character wholly at variance 
with any species growing round Monterey. 
TWISTED-BRANCHED PINE. 
PINUS contorta. Douglas . Loudon, Arbor. 4, p. 2292, fig. 2210 and 
2211. 
This plant is considered by Hooker, 2, p. 161, as a mere 
variety of P. inops with the leaves less rigid. Growing at 
Sitcha, and along the shores of the Pacific, from the con- 
fluence of the Oregon, and around Observatory Inlet, (Dr. 
Scouler,) £. forms a low scrubby Pine along the north- 
west coast ; on Mount Rainier, near the snow, not exceed- 
ing 10 feet in height, and according to Hooker, the speci- 
mens exactly agree with the same species from the United 
States.
