Trees and shrubs : an abridgment of the Arboretum et fruticetum britannicum : containing the hardy trees and schrubs of Britain, native and foreign, scientifically and popularly described : with their propagation, culture and uses and engravings of nearly all the species. Trees; Shrubs; Forests and forestry. 972 ARBORETUM ET FRUTICETUM 1S05. F. pilngens. A tree, with the habit of P. sylvestris, but with a much more branchy head. North Carolina, on high mountains. Height 40 ft. to 50 ft. Intro- duced in 1804;. Flowers in May, and the cones are ripened in November of the second year. Readily distinguished from P. sylvestris by the young leaves not being glaucous, and by the leaves generally being more straight and rigid, slightly serrated at the margins, and with shorter sheaths. The leaves are also of a paler green, both when young and full grown; so that the tree, when of large size, has nothing of the gloomy appearance attributed to the Scotch pine. The cones are of a light yellowish brown colour, without footstalks; and they are generally in whorls of 3 or 4 together, pointing horizontally, and remaining on the tree for many years. At Dropmore, there are cones adher- ing to the trunk and larger branches of more than 20 years' growth, giving the tree a very singular appearance ; and rendering its trunk easily distinguishable, even at a distance, from those of all others of the pine tribe. i 14.
