CONIFER^E. IS 



THUJA [Arbor Vita). ' 



The Abor Vitaes are natives of both hemispheres, and to distinguish the one 

 from the other, botanists have divided them into two divisions — the term " Biota" 

 being applied to the Chinese or Eastern Arbor Vit^s, vfhijst to those of America, 

 the appellation of "Thuja" is still retained. The two sections being so very 

 distinct in habit ai^d character, I have thought it best to publish them according to 

 their botanical arrangement, taking the Biotas or Chinese Arbor Vitaes first. 

 These are mostly large bushes or small trees, and are natives of China, Tartary, 

 North of India, and Japan.
