Revue Horticole, is oae of the prettiest kinds produced, and is 

 remarkable for its hardiness, as well as for its appearance, 

 which somewhat resembles the Araucaria Cunninghamii, but 

 is of larger size. The distinguishing characteristic of this 

 variety, independent of its appearance and hardiness, is the 

 length of the leaves, which are very large and curved, or curled 

 up, and reach a length of four centimetres, and then terminate 

 in a sharp point. This curling up of the leaves gives the 

 boughs exactly the appearance of the Araucaria Cunninghamii, 

 and appears to be an intermediate link between the two kinds. 

 It is in the establishment of Mr. Rougier-Chanvier, near Paris.
