Dwarfe Sea Pine. 
ches & leaues are like vnto tbofe of the ma- 
nured Pine tree : the onely difference is, that 
iome yeares it refembleth the Pine it falfe ; 
and the other yeares as a wilde hedge tree, 
varying often, as nature lifteth to play and 
fport her felfe amongfther delights, with o. 
ther plants of lefl'e moment: the timber is 
foft,and notfit for building, but is of the ftib- 
ftance of our Birch tree : the fruit is like 
thofeof the other wilde Pines, whereof this 
isakinde. 
^ 8 This dwarfe Auftrian Pine exceeds 
not the height of a man, but immediately 
from the root is diuidedand fpread abroad 
into tough, bending, pretty thicke branches, 
couered oucr with a rough barker the leaues, 
as in the former, come two out of one hofe, 
thicker,fhorter, blunter pointed, and more 
greene than the former s the cones or clogs 
are but fmall, yet round, and comparand 
hang not downwards, but ftandvpright : the 
root is tough and vvooddie like other plants 
of this kinder It growes on the Auftrian and 
Styrian Alpes. Clttfius fets it forth by the 
name of Pinajler 4. /uflriacus. 
9 This other Dwarfe is of the fame 
height with the former, with fuch tough and 
bending branches,which are neither fo thick 
nor clad with fo rough a barke, nor fo much 
fpread. The leaues alfo are fmaller, and not 
vnlike thofeof the Larix tree, but not fo foft, 
4 nor falling euery yeare as they do. The cones 
are little and flender, the kernell fmall, blackifh, and winged as the reft. Cinfius found this onely in 
fome few places of the kingdome of Murcia in Spaine, wherefore he calls it, Pinajler 3 . Htjpmcus. 
podonstus calls it Pirns maritima minor, t 
The Place. 
Thefe wilde Pines doe grow vponthe cold mountaines of Liuonia,Polonia, Noruegia, and 
Ruflla, efpecially vpon the Ifland called Holland within the Sownd, beyond Denmarke,and m the 
woods by Narua, vpon the Liefeland (hore,and all the trait oftheway,beingathou(and cr ,s, 
(each Werft containing three quarters of an Englifh mile) from Narua vnto Molcouia, where l 
haue feene them grow in infinite numbers. 
The Time. 
The fruit of thefe pine trees is ripe in the end ofSeptembericiiitofall thefe iflueth forth a white 
andfweet fmelling Rofine: they are alfo changed intoTeda, and out of thefe is boiled through 
the force of the fire, a blacke Pitch : the Pitch tree and the Larch tree be alfo fornetimes changed 
iatoTeda^ yet very feldome,fot Teda is a proper and peculiar infirmitieof the wilde Pine tree. A 
tree is faid to be changed into Teda, when not onely the heart of it, but alfo the reft of the .ubf ance 
Is turned into fatneffe. 
^ The HameS. 
All thefe arc called in Grecke and in Latine Syluejlres Pint:' of Pliny, Pina(lri: Pinajler, 
faith he inhis 16. booke. to chapter, is nothing elfe but Pinas fylvcJlns,or the wild Pine trce,ofa 
lefferheight,andfulofboughesfrorn the middle, as the tame Pine tree in the top, (moft of the co- 
pies haue falfely) ofa maruellous height -.they are far deceiued whothinkc that the Pine tree is 
called in Greeke befides the tame Pine which notvvithftanding is lo called not ofall men, but 
onely of the Arcadians (as we haue faid before) ’""'•all men do name the wilde »*»**; and therefore 
Teda, 01 the Torch Pine, hereof is faid to be in Latine not Pife<i,but Pinea,tha.r is, not the Pitch- tree, 
but the Pine trce,as Oari/dothplanly teftifiein his Hcroicall Epiftles;.
