200 TREES OF THE NORTHERN UNITED STATES 
Genus 107a, TORREYA. 
The Torreyas are much like 
the Yews, but their leaves have 
two longitudinal lines, and a re- 
markably disagreeable odor when 
purned or: bruised. Torréya 
taxifolia, Arn.,from Florida, and 
Torréya Californica, Torr.,from 
California, have been often plant- 
ed. They form small trees, but 
probably cannot be grown sue- 
cessfully in the region. The fig- 
ure shows a twig of T. taxifolia, 
Genus 107b. CEPHALOTAXUS, 
Cephalotéxus Fortinii, Hook.,

but a wide-spreading bush growing 
sometimes to the height of 10 ft., and 
spreading over a spot 15 ft. wide. 
Leaves flat, with the midrib forming 
a distinct ridge on both sides, linear, 
sometimes over 2 in. long, glossy green 
on the upper side, slightly whitened 
beneath. Fruit very large, 1 in. or 
more long, elliptical, with a single, 
thin-shelled nut-like seed covered with 
purplish, pulpy, thin flesh. Branches 
spreading, drooping, long, slender; 
buds small, covered with many sharp- 
pointed, overlapping scales; twigs 
green, somewhat grooved. From 
Japan; about hardy in New Jersey.
