CONIEER.E. I 
{Ovnliiiucd from page 2(17.) j 
Librocedrus.—A genus established by the late J’ro- | 
fessor Endlicher out of the Arbor Vilaes ['Thuja). Dr. 
l.indloy tells us, in the Horticultural Society’s Journal, I 
that the Professor’s reasons for so doing are “mainly on 
account of the scales of the cones being pressed face to 
face, instead of ovorlaj)ping at the edges; he also relied | 
upon souic difference in the seeds, which appears to be 
of less imjiortance, and which are not exactly as that 
lamented botanist sujiposed them.” As this botanical ; 
distinction in the genus appears to be sufficient to the j 
acumen of the learned doctor, 1 have adopted it in this 
list of ConiforsD, though no common observer could, by 
its habit alone, see a sufficient difference to separate it 
from 'Thuja. The name, too, is used in the gardens at 
j Kew, and in all the nurseries round London, and at 
Bagshot; so that wo may consider it fairly established. 
Imbrooedrus Cuilensis (Chilian L.) —A beatiful tree, 
attaining, in its native habitats, the height of forty feet. 
It is found in valleys amongst the mountains of Chili. 
It has a considerable resemblance to the common 
American Arbor Vita;, yet is easily distinguished from 
it by its more silvery green, by branching more from 
the base, and often forming a more conical head. Seeds 
have been imported largely, and, consc(piently, plants 
are plentiful in the nurseries, especially in that of 
Hessrs. Low and Co., at Clapton, and at l\lr. Hosea 
Waterer’s, at Knaj) Hill, near Bagshot. It is perfectly 
hardy in the south of Britain, and probably will bo 
in the north also, if planted in a sheltered situation. 
As it is a most beautiful tree, it ought to be in every 
collection. 
L. Doniana (Mr. Don’s L.).—This species is a native 
of New Zealand, and therefore requires the protection 
! of the conservatory. In its young state it might be 
; easily taken for a dense tree Lycopod. There are some 
I fine siiecimcns, four to five feet high, in the greenhouse 
j at Kew. Here they are strikingly beautiful, from their 
i bright, lively, green foliage and singular habit of growth. 
As an ornament to the conservatory there are few Coni- 
^ fera) that surpass it in beauty. In its native woods it 
I attains the magnificent height of seventy feet, and is 
! useful as a timber tree, the wood being beautifully 
J grained, close, .and heavy. 
i L. TETRAooNA (Eour-sulcd L.).—From South America. 
I Dr. Bindley observes, that “this species bids fair to be 
a rival to Araucaria imbricata, and to be as hardy, for 
it comes from just below the snow line of the Andes of 
Patagonia, where Mr. Bobb found it in the state of a 
tree from fifty to eighty feet high.” It is a magnificent 
evcrgi'een tree, and, being likely to be hardy, will, when 
it becomes more common, bo planted as largely as its 
rival the Araucaria. 
Piiyi.i.ocLAnus, a name derived from phyllon, a leaf, 
and ArZndos, a branch. This is a small genus of singular - 
1 trees, sciircoly hardy enough to boar the severity of our j 
winters; but they should have a trial in such counties i 
as I )cvon and Cornwall, or porha])S against a conserva- j 
live wall for a few years, till they become woody, and ' 
inured iiartially, and afterwards jdanted out in a shel¬ 
tered situation, they might become more able to resist I 
the cold. 1 have seen one species, the P. rhondioidalis, | 
growing in the open air in the Botanic Garden, at Bel- ! 
fast, and was informed it had stood the winter there j 
with scarcely any protection; but then the climate , 
of Irel.and is mucli milder, espcci.ally near the sea, than j 
most ]iarts of England. In tliat locality (Belfast) I : 
saw Fuchsias twelve nud fourteen feet high, with stems 
a.s thick as my leg, and apparently ton or twelve years | 
old, ()uitc bushy trees. Well may such trees as Phyllo- ' 
cladus live through the winter in such a climate. It is 
true the Fuchsia is hardy here also, but it only exists as j
