1 6. J. BERMUDIA V NA L. The Bermudas Cedar. 



Identification. Lin. Sp. PI., 1471. ; Reich., 4. p. 276. ; Herm. Lugdb., t. 347.; Raii Hist, 1414. 

 Synonyms. Cfedrus Bermuda? Rai/'s Letters, p. 171. 



Engravings. Herm. Lugdb., t. 347. ; and our fig. 2358. of the natural size, from a young plant at 

 Messrs. Loddiges's. 



Spec. Char. Leaves in threes; upper in pairs, decurrent, awl-shaped, 

 spreading, acute. (Willd.) A tall tree, a native of the Island of Bermudas. 

 Introduced before 1683, and flowering in May and June. 



Description, fyc. A lofty tree, with loose, thin, reddish bark, and very fra- 

 grant wood. When young, it has acutely pointed leaves, 

 which spread open, and are placed by threes round the branches; 

 but, as the trees advance in age, their leaves alter, and become 

 very short ; lying over each other by fours round the branches, 

 so as to make the branchlets appear 4-cornered. The berries 

 are produced towards the end of the branches, and are of a 

 dark red colour, inclining to purple. According to Ray's 

 Letters, p. 171., it was introduced in 1683; but, in Martyn's 

 Miller, it is said that it was first cultivated by the Eari of 

 Clarendon, in 1700. The wood is much used, in the West 

 Indies, for wainscoting, and different articles of furniture, as 

 it is never attacked by cockroaches or other insects. It is 

 imported into England for the purpose of making black-lead 

 pencils ; and shavings of it, under the name of cedar shavings, 

 are used to put in drawers, &c., to keep away moths. The tree, being rather 

 tender in the climate of London, is not frequent in collections ; but plants 

 may be obtained in the principal nurseries. The largest specimen which we 

 have seen is at Hendon Rectory, where it is about 2 ft. high. There are plants 

 in the Fulham Nursery, and in the Horticultural Society's Garden. Price of 

 plants, in the London nurseries, 2s. 6d. each. At Bollwyller and New York, it 

 is a green-house plant.
