Hambert’s. Pimus), a Japanese tree, which~has [upress. 
cones more like those of Thuya than of Cupressus. 
Our Cupressus Nutkaensis (I saw it under this 
name in Kew Gardens in 187 ), appears to be 
quite hardy as far as we can yet judge, but it 
Hes wot, yet fexperienced. here any. winter of 
uncommon severity. The primary branches are 
thickly set and rather upright; the secondary 
enes curved outwards and drooping a little 
towards their tips, and closely pinnated with 
the green branchlets, which are set on alternately 
and spread out in two opposite directions ; so that 
the whole ramification has a flatness like that of 
Lycopodium complanatum or of many Selaginellas. 
The branchlets are so closely covered with the 
scale-like leaves, that no spaces are seen between 
them; their colour on the upper side is a deep, 
glossy green, on the under, paler and without 
gloss, and often a little glaucous.
