Widdringtonia juniperoides, Endlicher, Syn. Conif. 32 (1842). 



A sterile specimen, with the long primordial leaves, labelled ' C. 

 juniperoides, Hort. Kew.' 



Actinostrobus pyramid alis, Miquel in PL Preiss. 644 (1845).

Two specimens showing the larger, more spreading leaves, the one 

 sterile, the other cone-bearing, both received from J. Veitch. A 

 letter from the latter dated Oct. 22, 1883, accompanies these, but 

 contains little of interest. 



Libocedrus chilensis, Endlicher, Syn. Conif. 44 (1847). 



Five specimens on one sheet, correctly identified, one cone-bearing, 

 the remainder sterile, collected by Bridges in Chile. 



Three specimens on one sheet, the two smaller collected by Bridges 

 in Chile (No. 781), one of which bears cones; the third and larger 

 sterile specimen, collected by Dombey (No. 938) in the same region, 

 was communicated from the Paris Herbarium. 



L. decurrens, Torrey, Smithson. Conirib. vi., 7, t. 3 (1854).

 Oct. 29, 1852 ; ' correctly identified by A. Henry. The remaining 

 sterile specimen from California (Hartweg, 1972), correctly identified 

 by Lindley. 



Two envelopes containing twigs with the juvenile form of leaf 

 from Peter Lawson & Sons, Nurserymen, Edinburgh, labelled * No. 6, 

 Thuya gigantea, Jeffreys ; this looks very like No. 5 ; do you think 

 them distinct ? ' and ' No. 4, Th. gigantea, Murray. Do you think 

 this quite distinct from No. 3 ? ' Nos. 3 and 5 have, however, not 

 been found among Lindley's plants.
