Sjiec. Char. Leaves in threes; upper in pairs, decurrent, awl-shaped, 

 spreading, acute. (IVil/d.) A tall tree, a native of thc Lsland of Bermudas. 

 Introduced before 1683, and flowering in May and June. 



Description, i$-c. A lofty tree, with loose, thin, reddish bark, and very fra- 

 grant wood. When young, it has acutely [jointed leaves, 

 which spread open, and are placed by threes round the branches; 

 but, as the trees advance in age, their leaves alter, and l)ccome 

 very short ; lying over each other by fours round the branches, 

 so as to make the branchlets appear 4-cornered. The berries 

 are produced towards the end of the branches, and are of a 

 dark red colour, inclining to purple. According to Ray's 

 Letters, p. 171., it was introduced in 1083; but, in Martyn's 

 Miller, it is said that it was first cultivated by the Earl of 

 Clarendon, in 1700. The wood is much used, in the West 

 Indies, for wainscoting, and dirt'erent articles of furniture, as 

 it is never attacked by cockroaches or other insects. It is 

 imported into England for the purpose of making black-lead 

 pencils ; and shavings of it, under the name of cedar shavings, 2.358 



are used to |)ut in drawers, &c., to keep away moths. The tree, being rather 

 tender in the climate of London, is not frequent in collections ; but plants 

 may be obtained in the princi()al nurseries. The largest s{)ecimen which we 

 have seen is at Il(;ndon Rectory, where it is about 2 ft. high. Tiiere are plants 

 in the Fulhain Nursery, and in the Ilorticidtural Society's Garden. Price of 

 plants, in the London nurseries, 2s. (id. each. At Bollwyller and New York, it 

 is a green-house plant.
