and the branches, are often variously deformed, with 

 scarcely any outer bark. The wood smells very strong, 

 like that of the Bermudas cedar. 

 Branches and branchlets wand- 

 like, and covered with a testaceous 

 bark. Shoots dark green, dicho- 

 tomous, and imbricate with scale- 

 formed sharp leaves. Berries 

 terminal, globular, middle-sized, 

 nearly black when ripe, and co- 

 vered with a glaucous bloom ; 

 containing 3 or 4 stones. Pallas 

 adds that it greatly reseitbles the 

 dwarf savin, and that it differs 

 principally in the greater thickness 

 of the shoots, and in the leaves 

 being acute and less clustered. A

 (JVi/ld.) An evergreen tree. Spain and Portugal. 

 Height 20 ft. to 30 ft. Cultivated in 1752. Flower- 

 ing in May and June, and ripening its large black 

 berries at the end of the following year. 



The leaves are acute, and lie over each other in four 

 rows, so as to make the branches appear four-cornered. 

 Berries very large, and black when ripe. There is a 

 tree at Mr. Lambert's seat at Boy ton, which, in 1837, 

 was 28 ft. high, with a trunk 9 in. in diameter. It strikes 

 readily from cuttings, and deserves to be extensively 

 propagated.
