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. 



Cupressus glauca, Lamarck. 



The Cedar of G-oa. It attains a height of 50 feet. Regarded as 

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

 Oliver, Henriques 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. (Chamcecyparis Lawsoniana, 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, solid, 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 

 colouring resin permeating it [Dr. Kellogg]. Hardy to lat. 60 15' 

 in Norway [Schuebeler]. Lately adopted among coniferous trees 

 from abroad on a large scale for the Prussian forests. Adapts itself 

 easily to varied soil [Schwappach]. 



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 may be derived from C. pendula (L'Heritier), which so long 

 was termed inaptly C. Lusitanica. 



Cupressus macrocarpa, Hartweg.* (C. Lambertiana, Gordon.) 



California, from Monterey to Noyo, in the granite- as well as 

 sandstone-formation ; sometimes in Sphagnum-moors. This beauti- 

 ful and shady tree attains to a height of 150 feet, with a stem of 

 9 feet in circumference, and is one of the quickest growing of all 

 conifers, even in poor dry soil. Dpes well also on limestone-soil
