Clofely allied to Picea Cephalonica. The bark is of a pale clay brown colour ; pulvini very llightly 
raifed above the bark. The leaves are not arranged diftichally, but round the whole branchlet, the leaves 
on the under fide, however, turning off diftichally. They are not fo acuminate as in P. Cephalonica , ter¬ 
minating in a rather blunt point [fig. 3], which is bevelled off from behind inftead of being nearly equally
