pinaster

The soil is red, and overgrown with arbutus and pinaster, like the country around Cannes.

Hence, in full-grown trees of the Stone pine there is often a similar curvature at the base of the trunk to that of the pinaster.

But that it does so I can hardly doubt, when I see a similar habit in the Pinaster.

The tree was a pinaster, of lengthy foliage and ponderous cones, standing in a little shooting-path, leading from the main walk.
