Trees; Shrubs; Forests and forestry. 958 ARBORETUM ET FRUTICETUM BRITANNICUM. I v. L. 5 austnaca. P. austriaca Hoss; Laricio d'Autriche, ou de la Hongrie, Delamarre. — Scarcely differs from P. caramanica, which grows both in Romania and in the Crimea. We are satisfied of this, not only from living plants in British gardens, but from cones which we have received from Vienna. Other Varieties. P. altfssima and probably some other names are applied to P. Laricio, or some of its varieties, but not in such a manner as to enable us to state anything satisfactory respecting them. The only truly distinct forms of this species, in our opinion, are, P. L. corsicana, P. L. carama- nica (of which there is a handsome tree in the Horticultural Society's Garden, under the name of P. romana), P. L. Pallasiaraa (of which there are trees at White Knights and Boyton), and perhaps P. L. pyrenaica ; the two last we have treated as species, for the sake of keeping them distinct. The branches are disposed in whorls, of five or six in a whorl; which are distinguished from the branches of P. Pinaster, by being often twisted and turned in a lateral direction at their extremities, especially in full-grown trees. The leaves vary much in length, according to the age of the tree, and the soil on which it grows. The shortest are generally 4 or 5 inches, and the longest 7 or 8 inches, long. The cones are commonly in pairs, but sometimes three and some- times four occur together: they point horizontally and slightly downwards, and sometimes they are slightly curved, so as to be concave at the extremity of the side next the ground. They are from 2 in. to 3 in., or more, in length; of a ruddy yellow or tawny colour, or greenish.
