There are numerous seedling variations in gardens, distinguished 

 by their golden or silvery-white variegation, especially in the 

 spring months, their dwarf habit, &c.

I refer this to T. pisifera on the authority of Mr. Syme, 

 who, in writing to me in August 1879, mentions having 

 found a pisiferoid sport from squarrosa, differing only in 

 being somewhat more glaucous. Meehan refers it to T. ob- 

 tusa ; but Siebold's type specimens confirm the accuracy of 

 Mr. Syme's conclusions.

I follow Mr. Syme in treating this as a variety of T. 

 pisifera. The cones are smaller than those of T. pisifera,
