Hudson's Bay, and farther north than any other American pine, where it gi'ows among barren rocks. Height, in America, 5 ft. to 8 ft.; at Dropmore and White Knights, 15 ft. to 30 ft. Introduced in 1735. Flowers yellowish; May. Cones ripe in the November of the second year. The catkins of both sexes are expanded in May, before those of P. syl- vestris; but, as in that species, the cones do not attain their full size and maturity till the November of the second year, and do not open to shed their. p. BanksuJTia. seeds till the spring of the third year. The cones are commonly in pairs, of a grey or ash colour (whence the American name of grey pine) ; they are above 2 in. long, and have the peculiarity of always pointing in the same di- rection as the branches. They are remarkable for curving to one side, which gives them the appearance of small horns. They are extl-emely hard, and often remain on the trees several years. Plants are raised from imported seeds, when these can be procured; but the species may be inarched, or grafted in the herbaceous manner, on P. sylvestris. i 12. p. i'nops Ait. The Jersey, or poor.
