In Planar sublattices of a free lattice, I [8] we verify Jonsson's conjecture for finite planar lattices; in particular we obtain a characterization of finite planar sublattices of a free lattice among all finite lattices. In the present paper we use arguments of a quite different flavour to obtain another characterization. Let

be the family of lattices illustrated in Figures 1, 2, 3, and 4. Our goal is to prove the following theorem: a finite lattice is a planar sublattice of a free lattice if andonly if it does not have a member of as a sublattice.
