It grows sparingly upon low hills, and the undulating country east of the range of mountains just mentioned, where the soil consists entirely of pure sand, in appearance incapable of supporting vegetation. Here it attains its greatest size, and perfects its fruit in most abundance. "The trees do not form dense forests as most of the other Pines which clothe the face of North-west America, but like Pinus resinosa, which grows among them, they are scattered singly over the plains, and may be considered to form a sort of connecting link between the gloomy forests of the north and the more tropical-like verdure of California. "The trunk grows from one hundred and fifty to above two hundred feet in height, varying from twenty to near sixty feet in circumference. One specimen, which had been blown down by the wind, --and this was certainly not the largest which I saw, --was of the following dimensions.-- Its entire length wa...
