The Species of the Genus Larix. 101 
A. OPPERMANN has shown, that a group of peculiar- 
looking larches about 125 years old is to be found in Den- 
mark (Folehave), and he classifies them as “a kind of 
L. americana which has larger cones than the pronounced 
L. microcarpa” (A. OPPERMANN: Cultivation of Larch in Den- 
mark, 1923, p. 319). We regard them as being L. pendula, 
Fig. 34. L. decidua X laricina? (L. ,,pendula’’). Cultivated, Denmark Fole- 
have, 1922. (*/s nat size, upper row wet, lower row dry.) 
viz., hybrids between L. decidua and L. laricina, but have 
to add, that it is extremely difficult to decide whether such 
trees, which are found in culture among many forms of 
L. decidua, really are L. pendula, it being possible to find 
among L. decidua specimens of great similarity, but it is 
at least evident that the said specimens are not 
L. laricina.
