not so deeply serrated ; they ar both comparatively 

 hardy, and we soon expect to see them acclimated. 



Cupressus may be desired in collections, as erect and 

 handsome growing evergreen shrubs. O. lasit&nica^ the 

 famed cedar of Goa; C..pendula and C. juniper oides are 

 the-most desirable ; flowers are insignificant, and yel- 

 lowish ; we have no doubt they may* prove hardy. C. 

 lusitdnica is the handsomest tree of the genus. Its 

 abundant, very long dichotomous branchlets, distin- 

 guish it from all the evergreens of the conoferious 

 tribe. 



Caldmpelis scdbra, once Eccremocdrpus scdber, is a very 

 fine climber, where there is a convenience to plant it in 

 the ground. It will flower profusely from March to No- 

 vember; foliage pinnate, with tendrils; flowers from the 

 axils on young shoots in a kind of racemose, and of a 

 golden colour ; grows freely. 



, Celdstris, staff-tree, about twenty-five species ; of no 

 particular beauty. Some of them haye numerous small 

 white flowers, in cymes and panicles; foliage generally 

 ovate, acute, and serrated. *C. pyracdntha, C. cymosa, 

 C. multiflbrus, and C. lucidus, are the most conspicuous, 

 and all the genera are of easy culture. 



CooJcia punctata, Wampee-tree of China, named in 

 honour of the celebrated Capt. Cook. The fruit is 

 much esteemed in China, where it grows to about the 

 size of a walnut, in bunches; leaves pinnate, ovate, 

 lanceolate, accuminate ; when rubbed, have a strong 

 odour ; flower small white in racemose spikes, of slow 

 growth. 



C. allistachys. There are two of them very handsome
