ARBORETUM ET FRUTICETUM BRITANNICUM. 



1967. P- religiosa. 



to 6 ft. in diameter. Introduced in 1839, by seeds sent to the Horticul- 

 tural Society by Hartweg. 



Easily recognised from every other species of silver fir by the shortness of 

 its cones, which, in form and structure, bear a marked resemblance to those 

 of the cedar of Lebanon, although they are considerably smaller. From the 

 elevated situation on which the tree grows, there can be little doubt of its 

 proving perfectly hardy in Britain.

 hirtella Humh. et Knnth 1. c.. has the yoimg branches covered with hairs.
