physes. Plate XXXVII. Figs. 319, 320, Cones. Fig. 321, Leaf-fascicle and magnified leaf-section. Fig. 322, Leaf-section from a binate fascicle. Fig. 323, Magnified dermal tissues of the leaf. [Illustration: PLATE XXXVII. P. MURICATA (315, 316), ATTENUATA (317, 318), RADIATA (319-323)] =XIII. MACROCARPAE= Pits of the ray-cells small. Wing-blade of the seed thick. Cones large. Leaves long and stout. This group is remarkable for the size of leaf, conelet, and cone. The peculiar thick seed-wing is more or less obscurely present among the species of the Insignes, but never attains the development that differentiates this group from all other Pines. The leaf-section is notable for the large amount of hypoderm and for the presence of both thick and thin outer walls of the endoderm-cells, both forms appearing in the same leaf. Wing-blade with a short membranous extension. Leaves in fascicles of 5 64. Torreyana Leaves in fascicles of 3 65. Sabiniana Wing-blade with a long membranous extension, leaves in fascicles of 3 66. Coulteri 64. PINUS TORREYANA 1855 P. Torreyana Parry ex Carriere, Trait. Conif. 326. 1860 P. lophosperma Lindley in Gard. Chron. 46. Spring-shoots uninodal, pruinose. Leaves in fascicles of 5, from 20 to 33 cm. long, very stout; resin-ducts medial, hypoderm uniform or somewhat multiform and of many cells. Conelets large, mucronate. Cones from 10 to 15 cm. long, on stout peduncles, broad-ovate, symmetrical, somewhat persistent; apophyses chocolate-brown, prominently pyramidal, the umbo salient and capped with a small mucro; seed-wing short, very thick, the dorsal surface of the nut spotted with the black remnants of the spermoderm. A tree 10 or 12 metres high, often semi-prostrate in exposed positions, confined to a restricted area on the coast north of San Diego, California, and to the Island of Santa Rosa. This species resembles P. Sabiniana in the length of its seed-wing and in the color of its cone, but is distinct in the short triangular umbo, in its pentamerous leaf-fascicles and in the mottled dorsal surface of its nut. Plate XXXVIII. Fig. 324, Cone and seed. Fig. 325, Magnified leaf-section. 65. PINUS SABINIANA 1833 P. Sabiniana Douglas in Trans. Linn. Soc. xvi. 747. Spring-shoots multinodal, pruino
