glauca conica. Collected by the Arnold Arboretum near Laggan, Alberta, 

 and described by them as follows: This very peculiar form of the Western 

 White Spruce is of slow growth and forms dense bushes of narrow, conical 

 shape, consisting of closely packed, thin and short branchlets. The leaves 

 are very different from the type and quite distinct. They are radially 

 disposed around the stem, thin and slender. On account of its very 

 characteristic habit and aspect, this variety promises to become one 

 of the most favorite dwarf Spruces. A rare and valuable plant.
