Catalogue. This differs from the species in its light glau- 

 cous color ; thus imparting to the tree a silvery appear-

Var. Yariegata alba, and aurea, Hort. VARIEGATED-

Var. Caroliiliana, Loddiges, is thus described by Gor-

 leaves more or less spreading, acerose or lanceolate, de- 

 current, scattered, and glaucous on the upper surface. 

 Berries very small, oval, and of a violet color when ripe." 



Var, dlimosa, Carriere. Syn. J. Scholli, Hort. Gor- 

 don says of this : " A bushy variety of the Red Cedar, 

 with a roundish, spreading, but compact head, largest at 

 the top, and with the leaves either very acute pointed, 

 spreading and straight, or scale-formed, and closely im- 

 bricated in four rows." We obtained this a number of 

 years since from a French collection, and if we have the 

 true plant, do not consider it of sufficient interest to re- 

 commend it for cultivation.
