character even in the young plants not long freed from the thraldom of the nurfery. Fig. 13 is a portrait 
of a young Deodar, and fig. 14 of one of its branches. Fig. 15 is that of a young Cedar of Febanon ; 
but it is fair to fay that it is not everywhere that it would affume this form at an early age. In the cooler 
parts of Scotland it would be more like the upper half of fig. 16, but more ffunted. Fig. 16 is a young 
Cedrus A tlantica. 
Afcending to a Fill earlier age (viz., the flrft appearance' of the plant at all, the feed leaves), we find 
a certain amount of difference, but unhappily it is not conftant. Still we have given figures of thefe leaves 
(natural fize) felebted as near as poffible to reprefent a fair average. Figs. 17 and 18 fhew the embryonic 
leaves in C. Deodara in an individual which had eleven of them. Figs. 19 and 20 fhew one of C. Libam 
in which there are only nine; and figs. 21 and 22 a plant of C. A tlantica, in which alfo there are only 
nine. It would not be fafe from this to- affume that the normal number of cotyledons in C. Libam and 
C. A tlantica were only nine, while in C. Deodara they are eleven; but it would be fair to guefs that 
in the latter they would be more frequently found eleven than in either of the former.
