long, blueish green in colour, with stomata on both sides, 
and have a prominent keel on the under-side. 
Wırson describes the crown as narrow and somewhat

decidua, but as there are at present only young trees up to 
60 years of age in culture, there is some hope that, as 
time goes on, they will adopt a — from the forestry point 
of view — more satisfactory form, and one more in keeping
