II M JEFFREY!, Oregon Committee. A magnificent 



1 irdy tree about 150 feet high a I fl feet in diametei 



: , U nd in ShasU vatie th California, by Jeffrey. The 



la of this lot are in fine order; plants of ti truly 



valuable tree are very * rce in this conutry. Cones with 



&». r/> picked aeeds, 21. 2s. 

 (provisionally named P Reardsleyi). The 

 tree is of great beauty and size: one which was cut down 

 melg a i in "height, and 44 inches in diameter at 



the Btump. Another tree near it measured 17 fe« t inches 

 In circumference at three ft"t from the ground. The 

 ■tern was avr handsome column, about thirl feet to the 

 first branch; tlml good and clear. It was found on the 

 tp of the mountain, me altitude as i'.Jeffi i, Monticola, 

 iind grandis, and higher than llenthamlanaor Lambertiana. 

 I r„,M with seed . each 21 -2m. ; 50 picked seeds 21. 2s. 



8. PINTS, new Sp. (pr -nally named P. Cralgiana). This 



tree in its growth somewhat resembles the preceding. It 

 was fo d u| io Maine i untain, about a i|tiarter of a 



mile farther down. The prickle on the i ie point »wnrd 

 the tip, while that on the preceding cone points backwards. 



nes with seeds, each 10*. ; 60 picked seeds, 21. -' . 

 AH1U9, ttetr Bp. (provisionally named Abies Hookeriana). 

 A new species allied to A. 1'attoniana, but quite distinct, 

 anl, lik it, a tree «>f exceeding beauty and gracefulness. 



The he hi was aboir 50 feet; 2) inches In diameter at 

 the stump. It was g ring t a great altitude, and sur- 

 fou 1 by snow on 10th October. Timber hard and 

 tough. 6 cones with seeds, 3/. 3s.; 60 picked seeds, 2 2a. 



10. PINT new Sp. (pm\ mally named Pinus Maclntoshiana). 

 Of this, only one tree, about 15 feet high, was found; and 

 of the few cones upon it every one was secured. Cones 

 with seed, each 25 picked s K 21. 2s. 



U. THUJA CKA1GIANA, Balfour (Libocedras decurrens, 

 Toney). Llndley says this i a "Magnificent new 

 specie It in rl»arar:.>ri i by its curiously compressed

tree 40 feet high by 3 in diameter, timber very dnn&L 

 100 seeds, 21. 2s.; 50 ditto, 11. 5s. 



12. CUPKESSUS, new Sp. (provisionally named CupressusLu. 



soniana). This was the handsomest tree seen in the whoit 

 expedition; and it is a subject of much regret that it vu 

 found impracticable to obtain more than a very few see*!. 

 It was found on the banks of a stream in a valley on the 

 mountains ; is about 100 feet high, and 2 feet in diamett 

 the foliage is most delicate and graceful. The branch^ 

 spread upwards like a Spruce, and hang down at the tip 

 like an < rich feather— the top shoot drops like a Deoda 

 The timber is good, clear, and workable. Seeds, each & 



13. CUPRE US, new Sp. (provisionally named Cupreiea 



MacNabiana). This appears to be the same as one inUv 

 duced by Jeffrey. Seeds, each 105. Gd. 



14. TAXTJ3 (? new Sp. provisionally named Taxus Lindleyam 



A true Yew; 6 feet 10 inches round the base; was groir^ 

 well under taller trees; and would, consequently, raakei 

 good filler-up where ordinary underwood does not readily 

 g w. Wood admirably adapted for every purpo* 

 requiring hardness and elasticity. Used by the aboriginal 

 Indians of the interior for bows and shafts of weapon. 

 50 seeds 21. 2s 

 JUNIPERUS (probably the same as one introduced bf 



Jeffrey). Seeds, each 5s. 

 PINUS BENTHAMIANA, Hatitweg. (Bentham's Pie 

 A noble Pine, attaining more than 200 feet in height, by ft 

 feet in circumference; found on the mountains of Sans 

 Cruz, and others in California, ranging above P. Sabiniant, 

 anl in some places associated with P. Lambertiam, 

 Branches numerous, large, spreading, rather irregular, 

 covered with a rough bark. Leaves thickly set on the 

 brandies, dark green, usually 11 inches long, strong, rath* 

 flat, with a slightly elevated mid-rib on the inside. Com 

 6 inches long, ovate, conical, straight, leaning, sessile, ii 

 clusters by three and four together. As it is quite hardy, 

 it is likely to prove a valuable timber tree In this country, 

 Decidedly one of the most ornamental of Conifers. Seedling 

 plants still very rare in this country. 12 seeds, 2J. Is. 

 17. ABIES DOUGLASI, var. religiosa. The cones of this 

 variety are more ovate than the species, and the learn 

 broader, longer, and of darker green. 6 seeds, 10s. 6i.
