Note 2549 — BOOK XVI. THE NATURAL HISTORY OF THE FOREST TREES. (continued 2)
John Bostock translation
See B. xii. c. 5, and B. xiii. c. 29. What Pliny states of the fir, or Abies pectinata, Theophrastus relates of the πεύκη, or Abies excelsa of Decandolles. There is little doubt that in either case the statement is incorrect.
