with Wırson’s description of them from their home. 
Although the Japanese Larch was mentioned by KAEMPFER 
already in 1712, it was first described by LAMBERT in 1824, 
and first introduced into Europe in 1861, when JoHn 
GouLD VEITCH sent seeds to the Nursery Gardens near 
London. It came to Denmark in 1889 (The Garden of 
Forest Botany at Charlottenlund), and is now, thanks to 
its vigorous early growth, and stout, picturesque appearance, 
a tree in common use in forests and gardens.
