under fide is more obfcure than in P. peclinata. The male flowers are feflile, 6 or 8 lines in length, and 
cluftered at the extremities of mature branches, with the creft of the anthers rounded in front, emarginate 
behind. The cones are axillary, not cluftered together, eredt; the fcales are expanded with a rounded 
margin about an inch in length and an inch in breadth, with the expofed apophyfts about 3 lines deep 
[fig. 5]; dorfal bradt (lender, with a moderate expanfion, a lacerated margin at the apex, and a projedting 
reflexed tooth [fig. 7, and fig. 8 do. magnified]. Seed about 6 lines in length, and the wing from 4 to 6 
or 8, and as broad [fig. 6]. In P. Cephalonica the wing of the feed has no fudden expanfion at the 
bafe of its narrow fide, but (lopes gradually outwards, and is of a much thicker confidence, and lefs 
acute in form (as fhewn in fig. 14). 
The foregoing woodcuts reprefent the fcale and the feed of their natural fize, and the leaf magnified, 
with which, for eafy comparifon, we repeat the cuts [figs. 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16] which we have 
already given of the fame parts in P. Cephalonica .

Details of Picea Cephalonica. 
The variety named by Dr Heldreich, Picea Regime A malice, differs fo (lightly from the normal form 
of P. Apollinis, that we cannot confider it a diftincft fpecies, notwithftanding that it is faid to poffefs pecu¬ 
liarities in its mode of growth which do not exift, or have not been obferved, in P. Apollinis and P. Cepha- 
lonica. The chief differences are the following : in P. Regince A malice', the leaves are faid to be fewer and 
lefs crowded together on the tree (although on this point our fpecimens do not agree with the defcription), 
and they are thicker and more obtufe. The leaf terminates more abruptly and has a fharp acute point, 
but, as in the normal P. Apollinis, is bevelled off from behind ; its ftomata are as in P. Apollinis. The 
cone is faid to be fmaller, and fcarcely ever to meafure more than 5 or 6 inches. This, however, is not of 
much importance, becaufe the cones of the true P. Apollinis are frequently only of the fame fize. The wing

of the feed, as is always the cafe, varies a little in dimenfions according to the part of the cone from which 
it is taken ; but, on the whole, it is perhaps a trifle longer than in P. Apollinis. The foregoing woodcuts
