pyrarnidalis mridis). Var. reptans, Beissn. Low shrub, 

 with horizontally spreading, procumbent branches and 

 slender, curving branchlets: bright green. M.D.G. 

 1896:296. Probably the same as var. horizontalis, 

 Arb. Kew. Var. Sch6ttii, Beissn. A dwarfish, dense, 

 pyramidal form, with bright green and rather light 

 foliage. Var. tripartite, Beissn. A dwarf, spreading 

 form of irregular habit, densely branched, with acicu- 

 lar, glaucous Ivs. F.E. 33:15. Var. venusta, Hort. (J. 

 venusta, Ellwanger & Barry). A columnar form with 

 glossy dark green, scale-like foliage. The dwarf forms 

 are often very similar to J. Sabina and hard 

 to distinguish without frs. except by the 

 strong, disagreeable odor of the bruised 

 branchlets of the latter. 



2025. The two kinds of red cedar leaves. (Natural size) 



17. scopuldrum, Sarg. Closely allied to the preced- 

 ing; chiefly distinguished by the somewhat larger fr., 

 ripening not until the second year; by its habit, form- 

 ing a broad head with stout, spreading branches and 

 often dividing into several sts. near the base, and by its 

 shredding bark. The branchlets are somewhat shorter 

 and stouter, and the foliage usually glaucous or yellow- 

 ish green. Brit. Col. to Calif, in the Rocky Mts.
