Libocedrus 49 3 
by Henry, was 42 feet by 4 feet 10 inches in 1905. At Brahan Castle, Ross-shire, 
Col. Stewart Mackenzie of Seaforth informed us in 1904 that he had a tree 4 feet 10 
inches in girth, height not stated. 
In Ireland, Lzbocedrus decurrens is rare in cultivation. At Stradbally Hall, 
Queen’s County, a fine tree measures 53 feet high by 53 feet in girth. There is a 
tree at Fota 45 feet high, dividing into two stems at 2 feet from the ground. 
At Churchill, Armagh, a fine healthy specimen, growing in sand, was 45 feet 
by 4 feet 10 inches in 1905. At Adare a tree measured, in 1903, 47 feet high by 
7 feet 9 inches in girth. 
In North Italy this tree grows larger than in England and ripens seed freely, 
which it rarely does here. At Pallanza, in Rovelli’s nursery, I measured a splendid 
tree over 90 feet high by 9 feet 3 inches in girth. Another on the Isola Madre 
was 90 feet by 9 feet 10 inches, from which I gathered seed in October 1906, which 
have produced a good crop of seedlings. 
It also ripens seed and grows well in the climate of Paris, and also at Les 
Barres, and has produced self-sown seedlings at Thiollets (Allier).’ The largest I 
have seen in France is at Verriéres, near Paris, a handsome and well-shaped tree, 
which measured, in 1905, 50 feet by 5 feet 5 inches, and is figured on plate vii. of 
flortus Vilmorinianus (1906). thle J. Ee)
