WIDDRINGTONIA. 419 



A middle-sized tree, with a straight stem, and ample head, 

 found in the western parts of the Cape of Good Hope, on the 

 Mountains of Blauwberg, at an elevation of from 3000 to 

 4000 feet, and plentiful on Cedernberg (Cedar Mount). It is 

 the Cedar-boom of the Dutch settlers. 



It is quite tender. 



No. 4. Widdringtonia Natalensis, Endlicher. 



This kind is said to resemble Widdringtonia cupressoides, 

 but with numerous more slender branchlets, and with the leaves 

 all acute, having, a gland upon the back, and with the female 

 flowers in twins, in loose terminal spikes. 



A kind of which little further is known beyond its being 

 found at Port Natal in South Africa. 



It is not yet introduced, and certainly tender. 



No. 5. Widdringtonia Wallichii, Endlicher. 



This species is closely related to Widdringtonia cupressoides, 

 but certainly different, according to Sir Wm. Hooker in his 

 Journal of Botany. 



It forms a middle-sized tree, with a stem from 15 to 18 inches 

 in diameter, and was first discovered by Dr. Wallich, in the 

 environs of the Cape of Good Hope, but has not yet been 

 introduced into England.
