reddish brown bark, and sends off many branches, which are nume- 
rously subdivided: the leaves are numerous, small, erect, opposite,

in sharp points: the flowers are male and female on different plants: 
the calyces of the male flowers stand in a conical catkin, which 
consists of a common spike-stalk, in which three opposite flowers 
are placed in a triple row, and a tenth flower at the end. At the 
base of each flower is a broad short scale fixed laterally to a columnar
