T. orientalis, var. triangularis, Gordon (" Pine turn," 

 1875, p. 55). 

 A curious dwarf compact variety with branchlets 

 arranged in a triangular manner, and not as usual — flat 

 or fan-shaped. 



T. orientalis, var. pumila argentea of Veitch. 



A tiny form which seems lost to general cultivation. 

 Foliage tiny and scale -like, not unlike that of var. fili- 

 formis. Branchlets all ascending, forming a small ball 

 about 8 inches through on a bare stem 9 inches high. 

 Branchlet tips all splashed with white. 



Such at least is the plant grown under this name for 

 many years at Glasnevin. I have never seen it else- 

 where. It was purchased from Veitch. 



T. orientalis, var. Athrotaxoides, Carr. (Rev. Hort., 1861, 

 229; ''Mitt. d. d. d. Ges.," 1894, 17). 



Syn. : var. dacrydioides, Rovelli ("Mitt. d. d. d. Ges.," 

 1904, 87). 

 T. occidentalism var. Athrotaxoides, Hortl By 

 T. occidentalism var. Defresneana, Hort \ mis- 

 Cupressa obtusa, var. Athrotaxoides, Hortj take. 



A form very similar to Cupressus obtusa, var. lycopo- 

 dioides, but less bloated in appearance, the thick dull 

 yeUow-green stems and fohage being sHghter and more 

 regular in size; the whole making a fairly compact, 

 globular or pyramidal bush. There is one at Glasnevin, 

 a pyramidal shrub 5 feet by 3 feet. 



According to Carriere, this form was raised from seed 

 of T. orientalis, var. compacta, and of the resulting seed- 

 lings about eight resembled the parent, and about six 

 were more or less monstrous forms, one of which is the 

 above. 



T. orientalis, var. dumosa, Carr. ("Conif.," ii. 96, 1867). 

 Syn. : var. cmtarctica, Hort ; 



var. pygmcea, Hort. (not Veitch).
