    Il Pehuen, Pinus Araucana, che gli Spagnuoli chiamano Pino terriere, è più simigliante al Pezzo, o all' Abete, che al Pino, benchè in certo modo sia ben differente da tutti e tre. Questo albero il più bello di quanti crescano nel Chili, nasce spontaneamente presso gli Araucani, e si coltiva nelle altre parti del Regno.
