LIBOCEDRUS CHILENSIS, Endlichep (Thuja 

 Cuillnms. Don).— A noble Evergreen Conifer, a native 

 of the An es of Chili and the southern provinces of Autucco 

 and Valdivia, growing to the height of 65 to 80 feet. &ir Win, 



Hooker *aj8 — 



" It is a tree of great beauty, and well worthy of being 

 introduced into our gardens. There can be little doubt, 

 from its native regions {inhabiting the same elevations on 

 the mountains as the Araucaria imbricata), that it will 

 thrive well in the open ground." 



The following is an extract from a letter lately received from 

 tbe well known botauical collector Mr. Bridges :-**Iu one of 

 the late numbers of the Gardeners' Chronicle I see some doubU 

 expressed relative to the Thuja Chilensis being ha- dy in Eng- 

 land. Tt will, in my opinion, be perfectly so, judging from 

 wh*t I have seen of the plant in the province of Coiehagua, 

 south lat. 35°, which is its most northern limit, it is found 

 near the 6now, and where it freezes, I should say, quite as 

 severely as it does in the vicinity of London. Where the tree 

 grows alone it is very graceful, the lower boughs are even on 

 the ground, and it elevates itself to a great height. The timber 

 is esteemed by the natives for building purposes. I have myself 

 seen it as far south as 42 Q , and I learn it is found in the vicinity 

 of Cape Horn."
