SPRUCE FIR. 195 
A. Smithiana (Loudon): The Khutrow or Morinda.—This 
tree is known also as the Himalayan spruce fir, introduced 
into Britain in 1818—a plant of great beauty when in health, 
but it generally becomes diseased before reaching the size of a 
timber-tree. 
There are several other species of the spruce fir in cultiva- 
tion, and employed as ornamental plants, which are not of 
sufficient interest to call for any notice in this work.
