F8E UDOTS UGA—EETINISPOEA 1 55 



tapering, but apex very abruptly rounded and either 

 blunt or occasionally with a minute cartilaginous tip. 

 Upper sides, pale green with median groove; lower sides, 

 with two narrow, not very white, bands of stomata. The 

 leaves when crushed emit a curious, sweet, sickly smell 

 similar to that of gorse or stephanotis. 



This has made a low, open irregular bush at present 

 about 2 feet 6 inches by as much through. The smell of 

 the leaves when crushed is quite different to that of 

 Ps.-tsuga Douglasi (type) or Ps.-tsuga glauca (type). 



p. glauca, Mayr, var. nana. 



Buds. — Similar to var. Fletcheri. 



Branclilets. — Annual growth 1 J to 2 inches, with rather 

 more pubescence. 



Leaves. — Longer, up to 1 inch, stiffer, and rather prickly 

 to touch; dark blue-green above, blue- white beneath and 

 arranged more radially. The growth is stronger and more 

 crowded than that of var. Fletcheri, and young plants are 

 becoming broadly conical. 



This, the second form raised by Fletcher, has only 

 recently been distributed into cultivation. It seems 

 stronger and less slow of growth than the other. 



P. glauca, var. pumila. 



Syn. : P. Douglasi pumila, Beiss. (ii. 110). 

 Beissner states that Antony Waterer, of Woking, got a 

 First Class Certificate at R.H.S., London, 1899, for a 

 compact bush form of the Colorado variety, with sharp, 

 rather light, green leaves. This plant is still in Antony 

 Waterer' s Nursery, and does not appear to have been 

 propagated. 



RETINISPORA. 



Under the name of Eetinispora, or Retinospora there 

 will be found in gardens and nurseries various forms of 

 cypress and thuya, mostly with juvenile fohage. Originally 

 intended as the name for a new genus, Eetinispora at first
