THE CULTIVATED EVERGREENS 



Buchanani, Parsons (var. Buchononi, Spaeth). Plate XX. Graceful narrow- 

 pyramidal form with slender branches and rather remote and irregularly 

 arranged thin branchlets clothed with grayish-green foliage. A very 

 distinct form. 



Globose or dwarf forms: Var. globosa, Beiss. (var. compada globosa, Hort.). 

 American Globe A. Dwarf globose form, similar to var. compada, but 

 lower and smaller. Var. Hoveyi, Veitch. Hovey A. Dwarf, dense, ovate- 

 globose form with bright green foliage. Var. compacta, Beiss. (var. Froebelii, 

 Hort. var. glohularis, Hort.). Parsons A. Globose light green form with 

 rather thin branchlets. Var. intermedia, Hort. Halfhigh A. Of dwarf com- 

 pact habit. Var. Woodwardii, Hort. Woodward A. Plate XXI. Dense globose 

 form, with deep green foliage. Var. Little Gem, Hort. Little Gem A. Very 

 dwarf dark green form, growing broader than high. Var. umbraculifera, 

 Beiss. Compact, depressed-globose, of umbrella-like shape with dark green 

 foliage. 



Forms of irregular or abnormal habit: Var. filiformis, Beiss. (var. Doug- 

 lasii, Rehd.). Threadtwig A. Fig. 46. Bushy form, with long and slender 

 sparingly ramified branches nodding at the tips, partly 4-angled and clothed 

 with sharply pointed leaves. A very distinct form, somewhat similar to 

 ChamcEcyparis pisifera var. filifera. Var. Ohlendorfifi, Beiss. (var. Spaethii, 



P. Smith). Spaeth A.-Pigs. 47, 

 48. Peculiar form with two 

 kinds of foliage; the younger 

 and lower branchlets with 

 spreading acicular leaves like 

 those of var. ericoides, 

 but thicker in texture; 

 the upper branchlets slen- 

 der and sparingly ramified 

 much like those of var. filifor- 

 mis. Var. spiralis, Hort. Com- 

 pact form with upright branches 

 and very close-set short branch- 

 lets; the branclilet-systems con- 

 cave and twisted, suggesting a 

 spiral arrangement if seen from 

 above. 



Pendulous form: Var. pen- 

 dula, Gord. American Weep- 

 ing A. With the branches 

 bending downward and the 

 46. Thuja occidentalis var. filiformis. branchlets more tufted.
