 - ' - of the natural size ; aiul,//o. 2334. showing parts of the shoots magnified. 



'/'<r. Ckmr., %e. Branchleta .'-edged, leafy j the oldest very long, pendulous; 

 the younger short, alternate. 2-rowed, spreading. {Lamb.) A tree, with a 

 large expanded head. Branches diehotonious, loose, leafless, much divided : 

 branchleta long, compressed, pendulous, closely covered with leaves; again 

 divided, secondary branchlets short, spreading. Leaves imbricated in 4 rows, 

 rather stem. clasping, and triquetrous ; keeled, adpressed. Male catkins 

 numerous, ovate, more than one line long, solitary on the apex of the 

 branches, sessile ; female depressed, surrounded by spreading leaves, termi- 

 nating the very short inferior branchlets. Cone brownish, about the size 

 of a sloe. Scales S-angled; mucros obtuse. Seeds yellowish. {Lamb.) A 

 tree, a native of China, said to have been introduced in 1808, but re- 

 specting which we know nothing with certainty. The pendulous cypress, 

 or RiQja, at Chelsea, and in the Kew arboretum, may possibly be the same as Thunberg's plant. 



Kinds of Cuprc'ssus of which there are Plants in British 

 Gardens, but of which very little is known. 



C. horuomtdlis Audibert. This plant has been already referred to, p. 2465 , as being considered by 

 some to be the same as the spreading variety of C. sevupervlrens ; and by others, as a distinct species. 

 As it has produced cones exactly resembling those of C. sempervlrens, we have no doubt of its being 

 only the spreading variety of that species. The tree in the Horticultural Society's Garden, received 

 from Audibert in 182"), is now (5 ft. high, of vigorous growth, and with spreading branches. 



C. expdnsa Audibert, ? C. expansa Hort. Par. The tree received trom Audibert's Nursery at 

 Taraacon in 1834, and now in the Horticultural Society's Garden, was, in 1837, 2 ft. high. The C. 

 expansaof the Hurt. Par. is C. s. horizontalis. 



C. Fothergilli Lee. A plant under this name is in the Horticultural Society's Garden, which was 

 received from the Hammersmith Nursery in 1834. It is now 2 ft high, and is found rather tender. 



C. thurijera. A plant in the Horticultural Society's Garden, bearing this name, is only a few 

 inches high. 



C. TournefurtYi Audibert. The plant bearing this name in the Horticultural Society's Garden, 

 received from Audibert in 1834, is 2 ft. high. 



C. baccifdrmis Willd. A hardy tree, 20 ft. high. Introduced in 1818. 



C. austnitis Pers. A shrub, with slender branches, a native of New Holland, and rather tender. 



Before anything can be determined with certainty respecting the above kinds, they must have 

 produced fruit; and, consequently, several years must elapse. Most of them are probably only 

 synonymes to species of Cupressus above described, or of some of the kinds of Juniperus which will 

 hereafter be given. 



App. ii. Kinds of Cupressus not yet introduced. 



C. nootkatdnsis Lamb. Branchlets tetragonal. Leaves broad. ovate, acute, convex on the 

 back, imbricated in 4 rows, adpressed. Galbulus globose, almost sessile. Scales bossed, smooth, 

 (Lamb. Pin., ii. No. GO.) A tree. Branches round, spreading, scaly from the withered leaves, 

 covered with a brownish bark. Branches numerous, somewhat distant, tetragonal, short, spreading. 

 Leaves broad-ovate, acute, very thick, glabrous, shining, closely adpressed, imbricated in 4 rows, 

 convex on the back; adult ones shortly awl- shaped at the apex. Galbulus globose, lateral, the size of 

 a wild cherry, covered with a glaucous hue, on a very short scaly footstalk, similar to a branchlet ; 

 scales trapezoidal, peltate, smooth, bossed in the centre. {Lamb.) Discovered by Mr. Menzies, in 

 Nootk i Sound, on the north-west coast of North America. 



i fap&nica Thunb. Jap., p. 265., Willd. Sp. PI., 4. p. 513., Lin. Supp., p. 421. Leaves 4-rowed, 

 comprcised, furrowed, decurrent. (Thunb.)

J)> j , iptkm. Lofty, deeidllOUgj and evergreen trees, natives of the southern 

 part of North America; separated from the genus Cuprc'ssus, principally .be- 



tbe male catkins are disposed in loose spreading bunches, instead of 



• .; \ and terminal ; and because the female catkins are roundish and 



, like the male, and each scale has only 2 perfect flowers. The genus is 



. languished by the embryo having from 5 to 9 cotyledons. The species 



morally propagated by seeds, and the varieties by cuttings or layers.
