79. Cupressus ftjnebris. IJndlicher. {alias Cupressus pendula, 
Staunton, Loudon, &c.) A large weeping ever-green coniferous tree, 
from Chinese Tartary. Obtained by Mr. Fortune, and introduced by 
Messrs. Stan dish and Co., of Bagshot. (Fig. 31.) 
This is probably the most interesting Coniferous plant yet in cultivation, and 
must in time displace the Weeping Willow. It is perfectly hardy, as was indicated 
by its native country. A figure of it is given in Lord Macartney's Embassy to 
China, where it forms a weeping tree in the foreground of the view of the * Vale of 
Tombs," a place situated in the inclement climate of Zhe-hol. The rude representa- 
tions of it on Chinese porcelain, having been copied by our manufacturers, have 
given rise to the " willow-pattern " found in one of the commonest kinds of English 
table-ware. Mr. Fortune's account of his discovery of the tree was given in the 
Gardeners' Chronicle of April 1 3, last, to which the reader is referred for more 
detailed information concerning its habits. 
80. LlBOCEDItUS TETRAGONi 
Don; alim Thuja tetragona, Ht 
ferous tree, from the 
cold southern regions of 
South America. Intro- 
duced by Messrs. Veitch 
*ndCo. (Fig. 32.) 
This promises to be a 
rival of Araucaria imbri- 
cata, and to be as hardy ; 
for it comes from just 
below the snow line of the 
Andes of Patagonia, where 
Mr. Lobb found it in the 
state of a tree from .50 to 
BO feet high. According to 
the officers of the Beagle, 
it is one of the trees called 
En ditcher.
