p 580. — A shrub, now common in gardens, at once recognisable 

 by its spreading fan-like branches, and leaves like the Pine.

3. A AusTRALis, A loranthifolia, Lamb. Pin. ?, t. 6. — The 

 New Zealand and Norfolk Island Fines; most stately trees. 

 Those which existed at Dapoorie have died off, and we suspect 

 that those in Bombay have shared the same fate. 



JUNIPERUS, Linn. Gen. No. 1134. 



4. J ViRGiNiANA. — A 15-feet tree, with wide-spreading, some- 

 what drooping, horizontal branches, with linear minute leaves, 

 having all the appearance of those of the Cypress ; has not 

 flowered at Dapoorie, where there are two large trees planted 15 

 years ago, having been raised from seed obtained through the 

 India House. 



CUPRESSUS, -Monoecia Monadelphia. Named from the TiZaHcf 

 of Cyprefss, where the tree grows abundantly. Lam. t. 787 ;

5. C Glauca, Spr. syst. 3, p 889; C lusitanica, Willd. sp. 4, 

 p 511 ; Pers. Syn. 2, p 580. — Now common in gardens. Native 

 and European. It does not succeed below the Ghauts, and above 

 only when the soil is rich and deep. When the tap root touches 

 the rock below, the tree begins to die. Those planted at Kore- 

 gaum and Phoolshuhur have long ago assumed an appearance de- 

 noting speedy extinction. Of those at Dapoorie, one or two of the 

 largest die off every year. The healthiest appear to be those planted 

 in front of Sir Jamsetjee's bungalovif in Poona, but they are yet 

 young, and have their trials to go through. At Dapoorie we have 

 C horizontalis and another variety with drooping leaves, both 

 received from the late IT. Hart, Esq. 



6. C ToRDLOsA. — This tree, which from habit and the form of 

 the fruit (?) may be reckoned a distinct species, has been exclu- 

 sively grown at Dapoorie from seed received from Seharunpore. 

 It is very ornamental, having long, drooping branches, and waving 

 tops. It appears to succeed better in the Deccan than the Medi- 

 terranean tree ; casualties have been fewer. C cashmeriana does 

 not appear to differ from this.
