In 1841-46, Antoine’s Die Coniferen appeared, in 
which all the Abietinece are referred to Dimes, with 
sections of Pinics proper, Larix, Cedrus, Picea, Don, 
Abies, Don, and Tsuga; he describes 90 species. 
In 1842 Spacb, in his Histoire Xaturelle des 
Vegetaux, adopted Pinus, Abies (including under it as 
sections Picea, Link, Tsuga,, and Pseudotsuga), Cedrus , 
and Larix. 
Endlicher, in the same year, in his Genera Plan- 
tarum reverted to Linnaeus’ practice of including all 
under Pinus, but made four sections — Pinus proper, 
Picea, Link, Abies, Link, and Larix, including Cedrus. 
In the same author’s Synopsis Coniferarum, published 
two years later, he maintains the genus Pinus entire, as 
before, but subdivides it into 11 sections, with 109 
species. 
In 1850 Lindley and Gordon published (in the 
Journal of the Horticultural Society, vol. v.) “An 
“ Enumeration of Coniferce cultivated in Great Britain,’’ 
where two genera only are adopted, Pinus and Abies, 
and the latter is subdivided into Firs (including Spruces), 
Larches, and Cedars, with 119 species. 
Meisner in 1836-43 published his Genera Plantarum 
Vascularum, wherein he includes all Abietinece under 
Pinus, with, as sections, Pinus proper, Picea, Link, 
Abies, Link, and Larix, including Cedrus. 
In 1855 Carriere’s Traite general des Coniferes 
appeared ; he keeps up Pinus, Abies, Link, Picea, Link, 
Larix, Cedrus, and Tsuga , which includes Pseudotsuga. 
This work enumerates 133 species, many of which are 
now ranked as varieties,
