PiMKNTA, Lindley. Pimento is the Spanish name for 
Indian -pepper. Linn. 12, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Myrtacece. 
This species forms in Jamaica a handsome tree, 
growing thirty feet high, and producing a fruit 
well known in this country under the name of 
Allspice. It delights in a strong loamy soil, and 
ripened cuttings will root in sand, under a glass, 
in heat. Synonyms: 1. Myrtus pimento.

PiMPiNELLA, Linn. Altered from bipinnate ; referring 
to the leaves being twice pinnate. Linn. 5, Or. 2, 
Nat. Or. Umbelliferce. Worthless species, growing 
best in a dry sandy soil, and increased only by 
seed, which ripen in abundance. Synonymes : 1.

PiNCKNEVA. Named by Michau.x in honour of Mr. 
Pinckney, an American, now forgotten. Linn. 5, 
Or. 1, Nat. Or. Cinchonacex. A handsome half- 
hardy tree, furnished with long downy leaves, and 
dividing but little into branches. It grows best 
planted against a south wall, with a little protec- 
tion in severe weather ; sand and peat is the best 
soil for it, and cuttings will root, if planted in sand, 
under a glass.

PiNoufcuiA, Linn. From pinguig, fat ; in allusion to 
the greasiness of the leaves. Linn. 2, Or. 1, Nat. 
Or. Lentibulacece Beautiful little plants, but diffi- 
cult to keep artificially. P. grandijlora will suc- 
ceed in common bog soil. The other species require 
a shaded morass to come to any perfection. P. 
vulgarig acts on cow’s-milk the same as common 
rennet. In Sweden and Norway the milk of the 
Reindeer is poured on the leaves, and set aside for 
a day or so, when it acquires consistence and 
tenacity, and then neither the whey nor the cream 
will separate, forming a very grateful food,

PiNUS, Linn. From pinos, a Greek word used by 
Theophrastus to designate a pine-tree; and some 
authors derive it from the Celtic pin, or pyn, a 
mountain or rock ; alluding to the habitat of the 
tree. Linn. 21, Or. 10, Nat. Or. Coniferoe. This 
much-esteemed and well-known genus contains 
some of the trees of most universal use in civilised 
society, and forming a very important article of 
commerce both in Europe and America. Most, if 
not all, of the species are highly deserving of cul- 
ture, being very ornamental and beautif'il in every 
stage of their growth. They will succeed on 
almost any kind of soil, but to bring the timber to 
its greatest state of perfection, a somewhat loamy 
and a cool subsoil are requisite. Young plants 
may be obtained by a variety of methods. All the 
species may be propagated by layers, by inarching 
on nearly allied kinds, by herbaceous grafting ; 
many may also be increased by cuttings ; but the 
speediest way is by seed, and which process we 
sheill briefly notice. In some of the species the 
cones attain their full size the first year, but, in 
most, not till the end of the second autumn. The 
cones .of P. gylvegtrig and the like, open of them- 
selves shortly after being gathered from the tree, 
and spread out in the sun; but the cones of P. 
Pinagter, P. Pinea, and similar kinds, do not, 
though treated in the same manner, open their 
scales for several months. The seed should be 
sown on finelv-prepared rather sandy soil, in 
March or April. The seeds of the most common 
kinds are always sown on beds, and after being 
gently beaten down, are slightly covered with 
light soil. The seeds of the rare kinds are sown in 
pots filled with finely-prepared soil, and when up, 
treated like other hardy seedlings. For a great 
mass of other useful information relative to these 
fine trees, indeed, for every thing that it is neces- 
sary to know respecting them, we refer the reader 
to Loudon’s Arboretum et Fruticetum Britannicum, a 
work which ought to be in the hands of every lover 
of hardy trees and shrubs. 
Under Pinug, we have included the genera 
Abies and Picea, of Don and other authors, believ- 
ing them to be so nearly akin as to render it un- 
necessary to keep them generically distinct. We 
have, however, in this genus departed a little 
from the original plan of the work, by dividing it 
into Sections, so that those who diflFer from us in 
opinion, will have no difficulty in recognising the 
species of Abies and Picea of authors, every species 
oi those genera being retained alphabetically under 
the respective Sections.
