at el of 11,000 ft This brave handsome pine is closely related to Monticola Lambertiana is the most underlined: graceful of
all the pines that I have seen In old age it is gnarly picturesque, In middle age, graceful Williamson spruce like with wonderful
variety of forms, In youth, strictly balanced symmetrical severely proper. On the head canons of Kings River we found cones
of illegible aniabilis with the bracts extending from 1/8 to inch beyond the scales. In some the scales were reflexed almost
covering the whole surface of the cone. The whole forest for miles on the South Fork of King River bore cones more or less
bracted as above but with no other difference that I could detect either in the size or form of cones or of the trees. illegible
Pamabilis illebible identical species We found illegible Monophylla on the Western flank of the Sierra on the S. Fork of Kings
River at elevation of 5,000 ft
