SEQUOIA SPINOSA, Newberry. 



Newberry, Proc. U. 8. Nat. Mns., Vol. v, 1882 (1883), p. 504; Plates, PI. Liir. 

 figs. 4, 5, ined. 



Cook Inlet, Capt. Howard, U. S. Kavy. 



This species is described as follows, by Dr. Newberry : 



" Branches slender, foliage open, rigid ; leaves narrow, acute (acicular), 

 arched upward, appressed or spreading, spirally divergent; staminate 

 flowers in slender terminal ameuts 2 inches long, two lines wide, 

 anthers few, under peltate connective scales; cones ovate or subcylin- 

 drical, composed of rhoinboidal or square peltate scales." 



The manuscript name on the plates above mentioned is 8. acicularis, 

 but this is an obvious error.

Port Graham (English Bay) and Neniltschik; Lieut. H, v. Doroshin. 



"The needles are lines long, 1 line broad, and stand 2 lines from 

 each other. The thickness of the leaf-bearing twig is hardly 1 Hue, 

 being scarcely the width of the leaves." 



This form difters from the typical form, according to Eichwald, by 

 the smaller leaves placed at a greater distance from each other and 

 by the well-defined midrib.
