form, with long and slender sparingly ramified branches 

 nodding at the tips, partly 4-angled and clothed with 

 sharply pointed Ivs. A very distinct form, somewhat 

 similar to Chamsecyparis pisifera var. filifera. M.D.G.

 with the entire foliage tipped almost pure white." Var. 

 H6veyi, Veitch. Dwarf, dense, ovate-globose form with 

 bright green foliage. Var. intermedia, Hort. "Of dwarf, 



3798. Thuja occidentals var. Ellwangeriana. ( X H) 



compact habit." Var. Little Gem, Hort. Very dwarf 

 dark green form, growing broader than high. Var. 

 lutea, Veitch (var. elegantissima, Hort. Var. George 

 Peabody Golden). Pyramidal form, with bright yellow 

 foliage. F.E. 27:7. Var. nana, Carr. (T. plicdta var. 

 compdcta, Beissn.). Dwarf compact globose form; foli- 

 age similar to var. plicata. Var. pendula, Gord. With 

 the branches bending downward and the branchlets 

 more tufted. M.D.G. 1901:169. Var. plicata, Mast. (T. 

 plicata, Parl., not Don. T. Wareana, Booth). Pyrami- 

 dal tree, darker and denser than the type: branchlets 

 short, rigid, much flattened: foliage distinctly glandular, 

 brownish dark green above, bluish green beneath. G.C. 

 III. 21:258. Said to have been intro. from N. W. Amer., 

 but not found wild there. Var. pumila, Beissn. Dwarf 

 dense form with dark green foliage. Var. pygmaea, Hort. 

 (T. plicata var. pygmaea, Beissn.). Similar to var. 

 dumosa, but still dwarfer, with bluish green foliage. 

 Var. Reidii, Hort. "Broad, dwarf form with small Ivs., 

 well retaining its color during the winter." Var. 

 Spaethii, P. Smith. Peculiar form with two kinds of 

 foliage; the younger and lower branchlets with spread- 

 ing acicular Ivs. like those of var. ericoides, but thicker 

 in texture; the upper branchlets slender and sparingly 

 ramified much like those of var. filiformis. Gt. 42, p. 

 539. Var. Veraeneana, Henk. & Hochst. Of smaller 

 and denser habit than the type: branchlets slenderer, 

 with yellowish foliage, bronzy in winter. F.E. 30 : 1 1 17. 

 G.W. 1, p. 296; 6, p. 474. Var. Wagneriana, Beissn. 

 (var. Versmannii, Hort.). Globose form, retaining its 

 bright green color during the winter. M.D.G. 1895 : 123. 

 Var. Wareana, Beissn. (var. robusta, Carr. T. caucdsica, 

 T. tatdrica, and T. sibirica, Hort.). Pyramidal tree, 

 lower and denser than the type, with stouter branchlets; 

 foliage bright green. Very desirable form. Gn.M. 2:11. 

 R.H. 1908, p. 79. G.W. 1, p. 295. Var. Woddwardii, 

 Hort. "Dense, globose form, with deep green foliage." 



BB. Lvs. with whitish markings beneath, without or with 



indistinct gland. 



plicata, Don (T. gigantea, Nutt. T. Menziesii, 

 Douglas. T. Lobbii, Hort.). Fig. 3800. Tall tree, 



attaining 200 ft., with short horizontal branches often 

 pendulous at the ends, forming a narrow pyramid: 

 trunk with a much-buttressed base and clothed with 

 cinnamon-red bark: branchlets slender, regularly and 

 closely set: Ivs. bright green and glossy above, dark 

 green beneath and with whitish triangular spots: Ivs. of 

 vigorous shoots widely spaced, ending in long points 

 parallel to axis, of the lateral branchlets acute and 

 scarcely glandular: cones cylindric-ovoid, little over 

 3^in. long; scales 8-10, elliptic-oblong, usually the 3 

 middle pairs fertile; seeds winged, notched at the apex.

Standishii, Carr. (T. japdnica, Maxim. T. gigantea 

 var. japonica, Franch. & Sav. Thujdpsis Standishii, 

 Gord.). Fig. 3801. Similar to the preceding but lower, 

 usually only 20-30 ft. high: branchlets more irregularly 

 set, thicker and less compressed: Ivs. of vigorous shoots 

 closely placed together, ending in short rigid points 

 spreading outward, of the lateral branchlets ovate, 

 obtusish, thickish, lighter green above, darker beneath 

 and with whitish, triangular spots, without gland: 

 cones oval, little over K m - l n g! scales 8, oval, usually 

 the 2 middle pairs fertile. Japan. G.C. III. 21:258

AA. Cones upright, the thickened scales with a prominent 

 horn-like process below the apex; seeds wingless: 

 branchlets ramified in a vertical plane with both 

 sides nearly alike. (Biota.) 



orientalis, Linn. (Biota orientdlis, Endl.). Pyramidal

back: cones globose-ovate, }^-\ in. long; usually 6 

 ovate scales, each with a horn-like process, the upper-

 probably only cult. There are many garden forms, of 

 which the following are the best known: Var. athro- 

 taxoides, Carr. Dwarf, irregularly and not frond-like 

 branching; branchlets nearly quadrangular, slender, 

 dark green. R.H. 1861. p. 230. Var. aurea, Hort. Low,
