1076 ARBORETUM ET FRUTICETUM BRITANNICUM. 
Leaves imbricated in 4 rows, acute, keeled, glaucous, adpressed. (Lamb. 
Pin.) A branchy evergreen tree ; in England a shrub. Goa, in the East 
Indies, and for many years cultivated in Portugal. Height 50 ft. ; in Eng- 
land, 15 ft. to 30 ft. Introduced in 1683. Floweringin April and May, 
and ripening its cones in the following spring. 
This species, in the climate of London, attains the height of 10 or 12 feet in 
twelve years, and forms a remarkably handsome low tree, with spreading 
branches, somewhat pendulous, and covered with fine glaucous foliage. In the 
winter of 1837-8, however, it was every where killed to the ground. The 
tree is abundant at Bussaco, near Coimbra, in Portugal, whence cones might 
be imported, and thus so fine a tree rendered frequent in collections. Its 
seeds may be treated like those of the white cedar; or it may be propagated 
by cuttings, as in Thija.

Engravings. Our figs. 1999, to 2001. of the natural size, from specimens taken from the plant in the 
Hort. Soc. Garden, and showing the very different appearance that the shoots assume on the same 
plant, and that even a young one.

globose, pedicellate. Scales bossed. Branchlets round, knotted, divari- 
cate, crowded, spreading. (Lamb.) A beautiful, pyramidal, much-branched,

Branches crowded, ascending ; branchlets much crowded, round, divaricate, 
spreading, knotted, 2in. to 6in. long, very closely imbricated with leaves. 
Leaves small, ovate-obtuse, convex, smooth, imbricated in 4 rows, adpressed, 
green; adult ones persistent, and falling off with the bark. Only young male 
catkins seen. It appears tolerably hardy, and is remarkably handsome; and 
there are now abundance of plants in the nurseries.

spreading. An evergreen tree. China, said to have been 
introduced in 1808, but respecting which we know nothing 
with certainty. The pendulous cypress, or Thuja, at 
Chelsea and in the Kew arboretum, may possibly be the 
same as Thunberg’s plant. 2002. C. péndula.
