The leaves stand closest towards the terminations of the branches, they are from eight to twelve 



inches long, slender, and of a light green. 



The habit of this tree being very singular and curious, and so different from any of its congeners, 

 it forms an interesting appearance, and ought to be planted, in every arLoretu7n; but, as it is one of 

 the most tender of the ge7ms, it should be well sheltered from the cold, until it is become of a large 

 size; owing to this neglect, almost all the trees which have been planted in this country have been 

 lost, and I know of only two of any size remaining, one at the Tloyal Gardens at Kew^ the other at the 

 Earl of Coventry's.
