 ornamental value, but recommended for seaside plant- 

 ing. Trunk usually slender and destitute of branches 

 for a considerable height: foliage thin and sparse, in 

 tufts at the end of branchlets. Var. Fithyilsa, Stev., is 

 a smaller tree with slenderer branches, longer Ivs. and

 S Z. 2:112. — Ornamental hardy tree, rapidly growing 

 when young, often very picturesque when older. Many 

 garden forms are cult, in Japan, several of them with 

 variegated Ivs. The best are perhaps var. adrea, Mayr, 

 with yellow foliage; var. albo-terminjlta, Mayr, with the 

 tips of the Ivs. yellowish white, and var. OculUB dracdnis, 

 Mayr, like var. varieg^ta, Mayr, similar to the vars. of 

 the same name under P. Thunbergi.

 bluish green, 1^-3 in. long: cones short - .stalked, 

 conic-oblong, grayish or reddish brown, \%-li^ in. 

 long; apophysis little thickened, slightly keeled, only 

 those near the base elongated; umbo small, obtuse: seed 

 dark grav, 1-6 in. long. Eu. to W. and N. Asia. Gn. 36, 

 p. 167; 38, p. 4.55; 49, p. 296. -One of the most impor-
