acuminate ; roughish above, in some instances glabrous ; disk of

at once, so that they may be swept away at one time for litter. C. occiden- 
talis is readily known from C. australis by its leaves being larger, and of a 
lighter and more shining green, and its wood heing of a lighter colour in win- 
ter. The leaves also die off sooner, and of a brighter yellow, than those of the 
European species. It is more hardy, and is readily propagated by layers or by, 
seeds in any common soil.
