The firft ofthefe wilde kindes may be idaaTheophrafti , or Theophrajhishh Pine tree,growingon 
mount Ida,if the apple which is (hotter were longer: for he nameth two kindes of wilde Pines, the 
one of mount Ida. and the other the Sea Pine with the round fruit : but we hold the contrarie, for 
the fruit or apple of the wilde mountaine Pine is fhortcr, and that of the Sea Pine longer. This 
may more truly be Macedonum mas, or the Macedonians male Pine, for they make two forts ofvvilde 
Pines, the male and the female, and the male more writhed and harder to be w roughr vpon , and the 
female more eafle • but the wood of this is more writhed.and not fo much in requeft for workes, 
as the other, and therefore it feemeth to be the male. This wilde Pine tree is called in high Dutch , 
iijatfjbaunpand uatlbetijattjbaum in Gallia Celtica, Elvo ^Alcuo : and mSjanifh , Pino 
Car ax. 
The fecond wild Pine tree is named commonly of the Italians Tridcntinis, and Anayfjfnfdus^Cem- 
bro , and Cirmolo , it feemeth to differ nothing at all from the Macedonians wilde .female Pine, for 
the wood is ealie to be wrought on,and feruc th for diuers and fundry workes. 
The third they call Mugo": this may be named not without caufe »»» . that is to fay, Humilis

Pine.

Pliny is deceiued,in that he fuppofeth the Torch Pine to bee a tree by it felfe, and maketh it the
