PINACEAE. 411 



Cedrus libani Barrel., the true CEDAR-OP-LEBANON, native of Lebanon and 

 Taurus, was represented by a tree 6 high at the Agricultural Station in 1913. 

 It has fascicled, narrowly linear leaves about 1' long; the tree becomes 90 

 high or more, with heavy ovoid cones nearly 3' long. 



Thuja orientalis L., ASIATIC ARBOR-VITAE, Asiatic, a tree becoming, under 

 favorable conditions, 25 high, planted for ornament, has flattened branchlets, 

 imbricated ovate acute scale-like leaves about K" long, and ovoid cones 

 about 9" long, composed of about 6 ovate, horned scales. [Biota orientalis 

 Endl.] A tree more than 40 years old was growing at Eosebank in 1914, at 

 which date it was 28^ inches in trunk circumference. 



Cupressus sempervirens L., ORIENTAL CYPRESS, of southern Europe and 

 western Asia, where it forms a tree up to 80 high or more, the branches erect 

 or ascending, has occasionally been planted ; its short branchlets are covered 

 by ovate blunt scales about \" long, and appear quadrangular ; its cones are 

 nearly 1' in diameter, globose, of about 10 scales. 



Cupressus macrocarpa Hartw., MONTEREY CYPRESS, Californian, similar 

 to the preceding, but with stouter twigs and larger scales, the branches nearly 

 horizontal, has ali?o been planted. 



Chamaecyparis Lawsoniana (A. Murray) Parl., PORT ORFORD CEDAR, of 

 the northwestern United States, experimentally planted at the Public Garden, 

 St. George 's, in 1914, is a very large tree, up to 180 high in its native forests ; 

 it has flattened twigs, bearing ovate scale-like appressed leaves, glandular on 

 the back and its globose cones are only 5" in diameter. 



Callitris verrucosa E. Br., recorded by Jones as C. varicosa, an error in 

 spelling, is an Australian conifer, now regarded as the same as Callitris robusta 

 E. Br. ; it was not observed by us in Bermuda. 



Pinus halepensis Mill., ALEPPO OR JERUSALEM PINE, of the Mediterranean 

 region, was represented at the Public Garden, St. George 's, by a young tree in 

 1913. Its leaves are 4' long or less, 2 or sometimes 3 together in short mem- 

 branous sheaths, very narrowly linear and bluish-green. This tree becomes at 

 least 60 high and bears woody cones 2J'-3i' long. 



Pinus palustris Mill., LONG-LEAF PINE of the southeastern United States, 

 of which a large tree exists at Inglewood, planted many years ago, has leaves 

 about 1 long, 3 in each sheath, the cone 6'-10' long. 



Pinus serotina Michx., BLACK PINE, POND PINE, of the southeastern 

 United States, with 3 glaucous leaves in each sheath, 6'-10' long, was taken to 

 Mt. Langton from the New York Botanical Garden in 1913. The cones of this 

 tree are about 2' long. 



Pinus Strobus L., WHITE PINE, North American, has been planted, but 

 the climate is too warm for it to grow at all vigorously. An interesting tree 

 seen at Norwood in 1914 was then about 15 years old, but only 7 high. This 

 pine has 5 needles in a sheath, and its cones become 6' long, their rounded 

 scales without prickles. 



II. B. Small mentions a weeping-leaved pine from Central America, seen 

 by him at Bellevue. 



Cryptomeria japonica (L. f.) Don, CRYPTOMERIA, of China and Japan, 

 experimentally planted at Wood Haven in 1914, attains a height up to 125 or 

 more in its native region ; it has whorled branches, linear angled leaves about
