138 Select Plants for Industrial Culture and 



Cupressus Benthami, Endlicher. 



Mexico, at elevations from 5,000 to 7,000 feet. A beautiful tree, 

 reaching 60 feet in height. The wood is fine-grained and ex- 

 ceedingly durable. Rate of growth at Port Phillip as much 30 

 feet in height within 15 years. Professor C. Koch deems it 

 identical with C. thurifera. 



Cupressus fragrans, Kellogg. 



The Californian Ginger- Pine or Oregon-Cedar. A tree, reaching 

 150 feet in height, with a clear trunk for 70 feet and a stem- 

 diameter to 6 feet. Wood abounding in aromatic oil [ J. Hoopes] . 



Cupressus funebris, Endlicher. 



Thibet. The Weeping Cypress. Attains a height of 90 feet. 

 One of the most eligible trees for cemeteries ; can be grown from 

 the lowlands of India to 7,000 feet or even higher, 



Cupresses glauca, Larmarck.

 a state of the Himalayan C. torulosa (D. Don) by Sir Jos. Hooker, 

 Oliver, Henri ques and Wilkomm. 



Cupressus Guadaloupensis, S. Watson.* 



Guadaloupe-Island, California. A widely spreading or drooping 

 tree ; stem diameter to 5 feet [Palmer.] This has grown with 

 extraordinary quickness in the lower mountains of Gippsland [H. 

 Kjergaard]. 



Cupressus Lawsoniana, Murray (ChamcecyparisLawsoniana, Parlatore). 



California and Oregon. This splendid red-flowered Cypress 

 grows to 150 feet in height, with a stem to 6 feet in diameter, and 

 furnishes a valuable timber for building purposes, fragrant, clear, 

 easily worked, free from knots, elastic and very durable [Sargent]; 

 it is however to be avoided for cabinet-work on account of the soft 

 and coloring resin permeating it [Dr. Kellogg]. Hardy to lat. 

 60 15' in Norway [Schuebeler]. 



Cupressus Lindleyi, Klotzsch. 



On the mountains of Mexico. A stately Cypress, reaching a 

 height of 120 feet. It supplies an excellent timber. Prof. C. 

 Koch points out the very close affinity of this species to C. thurifera 

 and restores its older name C. Coulteri (Forbes), suggesting that 

 this Cypress maybe derived from C. pendula (1'Heritier), which so 

 long was termed inaptly C. Lusitanica.
