Specific Character .—Cedrus ramis pendulis, foliis patentibus laxiufculis, ftrobilis fquamis bafi haud 
inflexis, feminibus alis, fubito expands. 
Habitat in Montibus Himmalayaicis. 
A large horizontally-branched tree, with its leader and young branchlets pendulous or drooping; the 
bark brown, with a whitifh luftre. Branchlets fomewhat tuberculofe from the perfiftent bafes of the fafciculi 
of leaves. Leaves growing on the branches in tufts, which are compofed of from twenty to fixty in number. 
On the younger twigs they do not grow in tufts, but folitary. Each tuft may be called an arrefted bud ; 
and this accounts for the readinefs with which, when the leader is nipped by froft, or otherwife hurt, it is 
replaced by another ftarting from the next bud immediately behind the portion of the leader which is 
deftroyed. They are light-green and glaucous when young, lefs glaucous and darker green as they become 
older. They are triquetral (the midrib being prominent on the inner fide and rounded 
on the back), ftiff, perennial, from half an inch to two inches in length, acicular acute. 
There are about four rows of ftomata on each fide of the midrib of the inner fide, and 
one or two lines of ftomata, or fometimes only a few irregular fcattered ftomata, on the 
rounded outer fide [figs. 1, 2, and 3]. The male catkins are numerous, folitary at firft, 
oblong, oval, and obtufe, afterwards more cylindrical. The ftamens are fub-cylindrical, 
bilocular, and with a triangular terminal oblique fcale [figs. 4 and 5]. The female 
cones are at firft feffile, folitary, of a cylindrical form, of a pea-green colour, covered with Magnified, 
a delicate velvety bluilh bloom. As they advance in growth, they ftand eredt and folitary on a fmall peduncle 
on the upper fide of the branches, and become brown. They are oval, very obtufe, from two to five inches 
in length, and from one to two and a half inches in diameter. In their early green ftage they have a moft
