Height 50 ft. Introduced in 1839, by cones sent home by Hai'tweg, from which many plants have been raised. 1900. p. apulc^nsis. The short leaves and very glaucous shoots, the ovate cones, covered closely with py amidal elevations, which are sometimes prolonged and contracted in the middle, especially those near the points of the cones, readily distinguish this from all other species. The leaves are 6 in. long. The cones are about 4 in. long, being rather larger than a hen's egg; the backs of the scales are sometimes prolonged into a hook, par- ticularly those nearest the base and the point. b.
