Tasmanian genus Athrotazis. Of the three species known the 
rarest is A. selaginoides, here a slender pyramid 25 ft. high; A. 
lawifolia is 20 ft. high, and A. cupressoides is also represented. 
Of the interesting genus Podocarpus there are several representa- 
tives at Tregrehan: P. Totara of New Zealand is 25 ft. high; 
P. macrophylla from Japan is 12 ft.; and P. chilina is 30 ft. high, 
og graceful and beautiful, but scarcely so fine as the noted tree 
at Penjerrick. Closely allied to the Podocarps are Prumnopitys 
elegans, here 25 ft. high, and Sazegothea conspicua, 20 ft., both 
Chilean. Native of the same region is Fitzroya patagonica of 
which there is a spreading bushy tree 26 ft. in height, its trunk 
3 ft. 10 in. round, very graceful because of the long pendulous 
terminal parts of the branches.
