T. baccata 



similar in habit to horizontalis, but having 

 golden, variegated leaves. It comes nearest to 

 elegantissima, but the branches are developed 

 more horizontally than in that variety. 



T. b. imperialis. An upright-growing plant 

 of compact habit, but less stiff in appearance 

 than fastigiata. The leaves are medium-sized, 

 and dark green. 



T. b. nana. A low-growing shrub, rarely attain- 

 ing a height of 3 feet, but forming a wide 

 spreading mass. The leaves are small, and deep 

 green. It looks well growing on the higher parts 

 of a rockery. 



T. b. neidpathensis = " Neidpath Yew." This 

 is a bold, vigorous-habited, green-leaved variety. 

 The branches are erect, but there is no approach 

 to stiffness about the plant. 



T. b. pendula. This is very similar in ap- 

 pearance to gracilis pendula, but the habit is 

 somewhat looser, and the growth less robust. 

 It, however, forms a handsome lawn specimen. 



T. b. procumbens. A prostrate-growing variety, 

 somewhat like nana, but having rather longer 

 leaves and stronger branches. 



T. b. pyramidalis. A green -leaved variety of 

 rather stiff outline. The upright branches are 

 crowded together, and rather sparingly clothed 

 with secondary branches. It is not one of the 

 most ornamental varieties. 



T. b. pyramidalis variegata resembles pyra-
