Cypress, Mexican. Taxodium mucronatum.' Foot- 

 note on p. 292. 



The so-called Cypress of Montezuma, is undoubtedly the 

 Mexican species, Taxodium mucronatum. In Garden and Forest, 

 March 26, 1890, p. 150, the tree is described as the American 

 Cypress, Taxodium distichum, an unquestionable error, as there 

 is no authority for its distribution so far south as Mexico. In the 

 Silva of North America, Coniferae, Vol. 10, p. 150, Sargent, the 

 tree also goes under the name of Taxodium mucronulatum, but 

 the authority to which Sargent refers, Annales des Sciences Na- 

 turelles, 1853, Vol. 19, p. 352, gives the name Taxodium mucro- 

 natum. This famous tree stands within the park at Chapultepec 

 Castle, near the Bath of Montezuma, an ancient spring from which 

 the water-supply of the Aztec capital was obtained. The tree is, 

 according to latest authorities, 170 feet high, and 40-50 feet in cir- 

 cumference ; its age is 700 years. Quite recently I have had sent 

 to me by Mr. Edgar R. Skelly, of Palmhurst, Riverside, Cal., an 

 illustration of the famous large Mexican Cypress which grows 

 within the grounds of the village church, Santa Maria, in the 

 center of the little town of Tule, on the road from Oaxaca to 

 Guatemala by way of Tehuantepec. This tree is 150 feet high, 

 the spread of its branches is 141 feet, and its circumference six feet 

 from the ground is 154 feet. Its age is estimated to be 2,000 

 years.
