the foliage and young twigs of a remarkably light, 
cheerful grass green colour; the general form not 
unlike that of the variety horizontalis of the 
common Cypress, the outline being on the whole 
pyramidal, though the direction of many of the 
branches is spreading. |The cones are nearly 
sessile, and are so numerous and crowded on 
many of the branches as to have a remarkable 
appearance; they are scarcely larger than a 
cherry, almost exactly spherical, with a remark- 
ably smooth and glossy surface, of a greyish 
brown colour when ripe; altogether they are 
peculiarly neat looking; the scales, from six to 
eight to each cone, with small and rather blunt 
point or tubercle on the disc of each. 
First discovered by Mr. Hartweg, on the 
western declivity of the mountains of Montery, in 
Upper California, within two miles of the sea- 
shore, in company with Pinus muricata; forming a 
dense bush, from six to ten feet in height (Gordon 
and Fournal Horticultural Society). As it grows on 
the coast, we might apprehend that it might not 
be thoroughly hardy here. Our plant has not yet 
suffered from any of the winters; but it has not 
passed through any of exceptional severity. 
(October, 1871). Last winter was a very severe 
one, and this Cypress had its younger shoots much 
cut by the frost, but it now looks healthy.
