Juniperus.'] CONIFERiE. 165 



Hab, N. W. Coast of America. Menzies. — This seems a very doubtful Taxodium^ of which I have 

 seen no specimen. 



CUPRESSUS. L. 



1. C. thyoides (L.) ; ramis patentibus tetragonis, foliis lato ovatis-acuminatis quad- 

 rifariam imbricatis dorso convexis medio tuberculatis, galbulis magnitudine pisi minoris 

 globosis subsessilibusj squamis subumbonatis lasvibus. Mich. N. Am, Sylv, 3. p. 207, t \b2. 

 Ph, Am. 2, p, Q^6. — Thuja sphseroidalis. Rich, 



Hab. Canada. Mrs Sheppard, Cumberland House Fort. Drummond. — There is but one specimen in 

 Mr Drummond's collection, and that is mixed with Juniperus Sabina, with which the leaves have the 

 greatest affinity, but from which the fruit at once distinguishes it, 



2. C, Nutkatensis (Lamb. Pin, 7i. 60. sine Jc); ramis suberectis tetragonis, foliis late 

 ovatis acuminatis quadrifariam imbricatis dorso carinatis etuberculatis, galbulis magni- 

 tudine pisi majoris globosis ramos breves terminantibusj squamis umbonatis la2vibus. 

 Thuja excelsa. Bong. VegeU de Sitcha^ p. 46. 



Hab. N. W. Coast of America. Nulka. Menzies. Observatory Inlet. Dr Scouler. Sitcha. Bongard 

 {in Herb, nosir.'). — The branches are sometimes a little compressed. Mr Bongard's plant has the fruit of a 



■ 



Cupressusj and it is altogether the same species as that here characterized. It has a near affinity with the 

 preceding, but that has shorter and more spreading and flatter branches, and leaves with a tubercle at the 

 back, and smaller fruit. 



■ ' THUJA. L. 



1, r. occidentalis (L.) ; ramis ramulisque ancipitibus patentibus, foliis late ovatis 

 obtusis arete 4-fariam imbricatis intermediis planis medio tuberculo notatis, strobills 

 nutantibus. Mich, N. Am. Sylv. 3. p. 226. t. 136. Ph. Am, 2. p. 646. 



Hab. From Lake Huron, to the Saskatchawan. Dr Richardson, — This is the American Arbor Vitce. 



2. T. gigantea (Nutt. PL of Pocky M. p. 52); ramis ramulisque compressis erectis, 

 foliis ovatis acutis arete 4~fariam imbricatis intermediis convexis puncto impresso etuber- 

 culatis, strobilis arete reflexis. — T. Menziesii. Douglas, mst. — T. plicata. Lamb. Pin, n, 

 61 {in partem). 



Hab. North West America. Menzies. {Herb, nostr.) Common from the source of the Columbia to its 

 confluence with the sea, and thence north to Nutka Sound. Douglas. Scouler. Wyeth. Wallaraet. Tolmie. — 

 A truly distinct species from the preceding, in the characters above given. Mr Lambert seems to have con- 

 founded it with a different species said to have been found by Don Luis Nee in New Spain : for his charac- 

 ters, probably taken from that species, do not agree with Mr Menzies' orig-inal specimens from Nutka, which 

 he has nevertheless considered as the same. The branches are longer, slenderer, and more upright than in 

 T. occidentalis, yet less flattened or ancipitate, of a deeper green colour. The leaves are always destitute 

 of a tubercle, and the cones are much more drooping ; in short, boating the same relation with it^ that 

 Cupressus Nutkatensis does with C thyoides. It attains a height of GO to 170 feet, and 20 to 40 feet in 

 the circumference of the trunk. Douglas,
