cones globose, 1 inch across or more, with 6-8 very thick strongly bossed 

 scales. Guadeloupe Islands, southern and Lower California. — Introduced 

 about 1880 to Europe. 



6. C. arizonica, Greene (C Benthami var. arizonica. Mast.). Arizona C. 

 Tree to 40, rarely to 70 feet tall, with horizontal short branches, forming a 

 narrow, pyramidal, or broad, open head; bark on young trees separating into 

 large, thin, deciduous scales leaving a smooth red surface, on older trunks 

 fibrous and dark red-brown; branchlets stout: leaves pale green or glaucous, 

 ovate, obtuse, thickened at the apex, usually without glands: cones sub- 

 globose to broadly ellipsoidal, dark red-brown and bloomy, 3,^-1 inch across; 

 scales 6-8, with stout, pointed, often curved bosses. Eastern Arizona, New 

 Mexico, and northern Mexico. — Doubtful whether in cultivation. 



Var. bonita, Lemm. (C. glabra, Sudw.). Smooth C. Leaves with con- 

 spicuous resinous gland on back, more or less glaucous: cone 1-1 H inches 

 across; the scales with a short mucro. Central and southern Arizona. — 

 Introduced to Europe in 1882 (as C. arizonica). This is, next to C. Mac- 

 nabiana, the hardiest cj^press and probably hardy as far north as New York. 

 Young plants with juvenile foliage are very glaucous (var. glauca, Woodall) .

 L'Her. C. sinensis, Hort.). Portuguese C. Tree to 50 feet, with spreading 

 branches and more or less pendulous, irregularly ramified, slightly compressed 

 branchlets; trunk with reddish-brown bark fissured into long narrow strips; 

 leaves ovate, acutish, appressed, slightly free at tips, glaucous: cones pedun- 

 cled, about 3^ inch across, covered with glaucous bloom; scales 6-8, with an 

 elongated, pointed and usually hooked boss. Mexico. — Introduced to 

 Portugal about 1600. For a long time supposed to have come from India and 

 called "Cedar of Goa." 



Var. Benthami, Carr. (C. Benthami, Endl. C. thurifera, Schlecht., not 

 HBK. C. excelsa, Scott). Bentham C. Narrow pyramidal tree with spread- 

 ing or deflexed branches; branchlets pinnately and regularly ramified in one 

 plane, the ultimate branchlets slightly compressed: leaves acute, free at the 

 tips, with a glandular pit on back. — Introduced about 1840. 



Var. Knightiana, Rehd. (C. Knightiana, Knight & Perry. C. Benthami 

 var. Knightiana, Mast.). Knight C. Similar to the preceding variety, but 

 branchlets more compressed and very regularly pinnately branched, the 

 ultimate branchlets of nearly equal length, green to glaucous. — Introduced 

 before 1850. 



8. C. tonilosa, D. Don (C. nepalensis. Loud.). Bhutan C. Tall pyramidal 

 tree to 150 feet high, with short horizontal branches ascending at the ex- 

 tremities; trunk with brown bark peeling off in long, narrow, fibrous strips; 

 branchlets slender, drooping: leaves rhombic-ovate, acutish or obtusish,
