CONl'FERiE : PI^'UUS. 1005 with ciliated and torn scales; erect, waved, somewhat rigid, tri- quetrous, callous, and mucronate ; glaucous green, marked with many parallel dotted lines ; slightly bica- naiieulate above, and ilattish beneath; 6 in, long; angles crenu- lated, and scabrous: sheaths 1 in. to 1^ in. long, persistent: scales amentaceous, ciliate and torn on the mar- gin, bright brown. Male catkins cylindri- cal, 1 in. long, with many imbricated, oval, ciliated scales at the base. Appendage to the anthers roundish, convex, coriaceous, membranaceous on the margin, torn, and cre- nulated. Cones ob- long, tubercled, bright brown, thicker at the base, a little attenu- ated towards the apex, about 6 in. long; scales elevated at the apex, bluntly tetragonal, truncate, very thick. \') Mr. Lam- bert says : " Baron Humboldt has re- ferred this species to Pinus occidentalis Swartz; but I have ventin-ed to separate it, as the size'of the cones, which may, in general, be relied on as indicating a specific distinction in this ge- nus, differs so ; Those described by Swartz are only 3 in. long, whereas those of P. MontezumtB are more than double that length. Whether this species will prove quite hardy in British gardens is not, as far as we are aware, at present ascertained. Something may doubtless be accomplished with this and other species by grafting on more hardy 1885. P.
