smooth on the upper surface; those of the suckers smaller, less 
long-pointed, more scabrous. Suckers and young boughs from 
the second or third year very suberous ; bark of the bole and 
large boughs not suberous. Rare in Britain; I have only seen

planted trees in Salisbury Cathedral Close and in Kew Gardens. 
It is, however, not rare in Brittany, and will probably be found 
native in Britain near the sea in the south-western counties.
