The Pinus Austriaca, Austrian or Black Pine, Pinusnigrescens of some of the German botanists, is anotherspecies lately introduced, which promises to be a mostvaluable addition to our sylva. It is nearly related toPinus pallasiana and Pinus laricio, but seems to possesscharacters sufficiently marked to warrant its separation fromthem as a botanical species. The bud is narrower thanthat of the Pinus pallasiana and coated with a whiteresin. It is a native of Austria, in which country it pos-sesses an extensive range, covering, according to CaptainWiddrington, * a considerable portion of the plain to the * See paper On some species of European Pine, by Captain Widdrington, R.N., in No. 49, Annals and Magazine of Natural History. 432 COXIFER.E. south and east of Vienna ; it also clothes the lower part ofthe Semereng range and the hills near Baden, and ranges tothe south of Styria. Loudon remarks that in the neighbour-. hood of the snowy mountains it grows at higher altitudesthan the silver fir, and Captain Widdrington assigns it azone immediately below that of the Pinus sylvestris ; at thesame time, he adds, there is no question that it is suffi-ciently hardy to resist any cold to which it is liable tobe exposed in these islands.11 It was first introduced into Britain by Mr. Lawsonof Edinburgh, in 1835, who raised a large number ofplants from seed brought from Germany, and we mayhere remark that plants of this species, now six years old, outstrip in strength and size those of the Common Pineplaced in the same soil and situation.
