PL iv. 313, and Tr. Gen. Conif. 49 : Gord. Pinet. 101 ; Henk. and 

 Hockst. Syn. der Nadelli. 328. 



Habitat. — Bermuda and North and ISTorth-western Bahama 

 Islands, Florida, West Indies, and Canary Islands. 



The plant I observed is perhaps not correctly named ; it seemed 

 quite hardy and looked beautiful. 



From J. Bermudiana was obtained the fragrant wood used in the 

 manufacture of "Cedar" pencils, till the increased demand made 

 the tree scarce. There was (1872) still existing in Bermuda an old 

 Cedar tree, the diameter of whose trunk was 58 inches (Gardeners^ 

 Chronicle, 1872, p. 1035).

 a height of 18 feet and a girth of 10 inches.
