Araucaria, Ruiz and Pavon. Derived from 

 araucanos, its name in Chile, Linn. 22, Or. 

 13, Nat. Or. Pin&cece. This, may be termed 

 the handsomest genus of pinaceous plants with 

 which we are acquainted. A. imbricata in par- 

 ticular is certainly one of the grandest trees 

 known. It will thrive well in the open air, 

 with the protection of a mat or two in very 

 severe weather, and when got pretty large will 

 no doubt be perfectly hardy. Rich open loam 

 suits them well ; and propagation may be 

 effected in the same manner as recommended 

 for AUingia. Synonyme- : 1, A. column&ris, 

 Dombeya columnaris, Ouprissus columnaris, A .
