Thuja plicata, Don. Noorka SOUND ARBOR VITA. ( 7huja occidentalis 
plicata, Loudon ; Thuja occidentalis asplenifolia, Hort. ; Thuja odorata, Mar- 
shall.) Becomes quite a tree; has the branchlets strangely twisted ; foliage is 
a deep bright green. Variety minima, 2. Smith, is an exceedingly compact 
little form, of very slow growth. 
Thuja Standishii, Gordon. STANDISH’s JAPAN ARBOR VIT&. (7huja 
gigantea Standishi, Parlatore?) Is a handsome, good-sized tree from Japan. 
Thuja Tatarica, Zoddiges. TARTARIAN or SIBERIAN ARBOR VIT#. 
(Thuja Tatarica Wareana, Hort.; Thuja Sibirica, Linneus; with a host 
of other synonymes.) This is a beautiful, regularly conical, small tree, dark 
green in color and compact in growth. Hardy. Hoopes, who is a most com- 
petent authority, insists that this is but a form of 7. occidentalis. Under 7. 
Tatarica Gordon places 7. pyramidalis both of Tenore and of Carriere. 
The following newer or less-known varieties of 7huja occidentalis appear : 
rotundata, Hoofes,; which is a dwarf, deep green in color, and dense in 
structure, with a peculiar crested appearance. Doii, Doe; a variegated form, 
with yellow-speckled stems and leaves. Buchanani, Doe, is another varie- 
gated form, with abundant yellow dots on the foliage. lutea, Doe; a con- 
spicuously golden-yellow variegated shrub, which retains its color both in the 
sun and with age. The variety nana, /Yvofes, is a different plant from that of 
the same name by Gordon and Carriere. Variety Brinkerhoffii is of a 
conspicuous golden yellow, and very attractive in early spring. 
Besides the above there are Thuja occidentalis ericoides, Hort. ; which 
is Retinospora Ellwangeriana, Barry. Thuja occidentalis excelsa of the 
garden lists, which may be 7huja excelsa of Bongard, which is Cupressus 
Nutkaensis, Hooker. Thuja glauca, Hort., is Biota orientalis glauca, Pince. 
Thuja Japonica, /ort., is Biota orientalis Siteboldit, Endlicher. Thuja 
occidentalis, Hort., is Biota orientalis monstrosa, Carriere. The popular 
little Tom Thumb Arbor Vite Gordon puts under Retinospora Ellwangeriana, 
Barry. 
Torreya. Male and female flowers in the axils of the leaves, but on dif- 
ferent trees. ‘ Anther-cells 4, attached to the under side of the shield-shaped 
scale.’ The female flowers maturing into a I-seeded stone fruit. A small 
group of trees from California, Florida, China, and Japan, the wood of which 
is yellow, heavy, and fine-grained, but both stem and leaf have an unpleasant 
odor when bruised. 
Torreya Californica, Zorrey. CALIFORNIA NUTMEG, STINKING YEW. 
( Zorreya myristica, Hooker.) A tree from the California Sierras, 20 to 40 feet

Cephalotaxus grandis, Hort.; Cephalotaxus umbraculifera, Siebold.) It ap- 
pears in Gordon's Pinetum under the last name. From the mountainous parts

devoid of the unpleasant odor which characterizes the others.
