THUJA. 405 



This kind forms a Large, compact, pyramidal bush, growing 

 from twenty to thirty feet high, and nearly as dense as the 

 Chinese Arbor- Vitae. It somewhat resembles the Thuja plicata., 

 but is of a much brighter green, and less coarse in its branch- 

 lets. 



Some fine old plants of this kind are to be seen in the 

 pleasure-grounds at Bagshot Park, the former residence of Her 

 Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester, in Surrey. 



Thuja Occidentalis glorosa, Hort., the Globular Arbor- Vitse. 



This variety forms a dwarf, dense, globular bush, which, 

 except in stature and outline, is very similar to the common 

 form of the American Arbor- Vitse. 



Thuja Occidentalis Hoveyi, Hovt., Hovey's American. 



Arbor- Vita3. 



Syn. Thuja Hoveyi, Hort. 

 This variety forms a round, compact bush, with numerous 

 flat branchlets, and strap-shaped spray, closely imbricated with 

 ovate, bright green leaves, mostly furnished on the back with 

 a transparent gland. It is slenderer, smaller, and of a much 

 lighter green than the species, and of American origin. 



Thuja Occidentalis pendula, Gordon, the Reverted- 

 branched Arbor- Vitse. 



This variety differs in having the principal branches along 

 the main stem in a reverted position, and in the branchlets 

 being more densely clustered or tufted towards the ends of the 

 branches, and in a more declining position. 



The original plant is in Mr. Standish's Nursery at Bagshot. 



Thuja Occidentalis variegata, Loudon. 

 Syn. Thuja variegata, Marsh. 

 This only differs in having some of the branchlets of a pale 

 yellow colour, intermixed with the ordinary light green ones 

 on the plant.
