This kind forms a large bush or small tree in the Azores and 

 adjoining islands ; but, according to Mr. Webb, it sometimes at- 

 tains a much larger size in the warm valleys on the Island of 

 TenerifFe and Canary Islands, vi'here it becomes a middle-sized 

 tree, with a stem 4 or 5 feet in girth; it, however, is subject to 

 great variation in size and appearance, being found at elevations 

 varying from 1,000 to 5,000 feet on those islands ; at the latter 

 of which elevations it becomes a bush, with its leaves very 

 much reduced in size, and partially imbricated ; while in the 

 lower and more sheltered situations it becomes a middle-sized 

 tree, with long, slender, drooping branches and branchlets, 

 little divided, but furnished with spreading distant leaves in 

 threes ; the fruit-bearing ones being covered with small scale- 

 like leaves only one line long. It is found plentiful on the 

 Island of Teneriffe, the Canary Islands, and the Azores, where 

 the inhabitants call it " Cedro," the French " Cade,'^ and the 

 Spanish " Enebro."
