Syn.: Abies excelsa brevifolia, Cripps (Gord., 



"Pinetum," 8, 1875). 



Picea excelsa nana, Beiss. (not Carr.) (ii. 235). 



A variety under this name is recorded by Gordon, who 



calls it var. brevifolia, Cripps. This variety Beissner 



(ii. 235) identifies with var. nana, Carr., but distinguishes 



from these a var. brevifolia, Wittrock, in Hartman (''Handl. 



Skand., FL," ed. 12, 35, 1899). I can find no trace of this 



Variety.
