M. 2 Lindleyi {figs. 1882. and 1883., from specimens sent home by Hartweg.)—Cones with the scales flattened, or very slightly tuberculated at the tip. Found on the road to Sumate, where it grows from 40 ft. to 50 ft. high. The cones of P. MonteziimcE, which were dis- tributed by the Horticultural Society in 1839, differ so much from those of this species in Mr. Lambert's possession, and also from cones sent from Mexico to Mr. Henchman, that we have thought it advisable to keep them distinct. The cones in Mr. Lambert's possession are much tuberculated, as are also those of Mr. Henchman ; while those distributed by the Hor- ticultural Society have the tips of the scales almost flat; and there- fore we have thought it advisable to mark the Horticultural Society's plant as a variety, till something more is known respecting it. A tall tree. Branchlets covered with thick scabrous bark. Leaves generally in fives, rarely in threes or fours; stipular, persistent, lanceolate, much pointed,. 1882. P.
