Note 137 — Chapter VI · (continued 2)
Reading edition
The Pinites Withami, and P. medullaris, of Lindley and Hutton, figured in Mr. Witham's work, belong to this genus. It may interest the reader to know that slices of these woods prepared for the microscope by Mr. Nicol, (presented to me by the late Dr. Henry, of Manchester,) not only expose the vegetable organization in an admirable manner, but also form beautiful objects for the exhibition of polarization.
