CH AM AECYPARIS—Continued 
C. lawsoniana f i I if era glauca. Entirely unlike 
Hie type, from which it varies similarly to and as 
widely as does Thuya orientalis pendula from its 
natural form. It produces an abundance of long, 
slender, thread-like branchlets covered with minute, 
closely overlapping leaves. Only moderately glau¬ 
cous. Growth Quite erect; tips of branches some¬ 
what drooping. Very graceful and handsome. 
C. lawsoniana glauca coerulea. Beautiful com¬ 
pact form with silvery foliage. 
C. lawsoniana lutea. GOLDEN LAWSON CY¬ 
PRESS. Variety with intensely yellow foliage. 
One of the brightest trees of this color. Being sub¬ 
ject to sunburn in hot locations, it should be given 
a shaded situation. 
C. nutkaensis glauca. NOOTKA SOl’ND CY¬ 
PRESS. X. \\*. America. A vigorous, upright- 
g ro w i ng tree, with spreading, upward-curved 
branches and flexible branchlets. Eoliage dark 
green with silvery glaucous tint. Somewhat re¬ 
sembles Lawson Cypress. 
C. obtusa pendula. WEEPING JAPANESE 
CYPRESS. Medium-sized tree of slow growth. 
Branches scattered, slender, thread-like and droop¬ 
ing. Foliage light green. General appearance very 
loose and open. 
RETINISPORA 
Shrubs or very small trees of varying appear¬ 
ance. Originally supposed to he a distinct class, 
hut later found to have been developed by the 
Japanese by propagating from juvenile forms of 
Chamaecy paris. 
C. pisifera plumosa aurea. Low, compact tree of 
slow growth and regular outline. Foliage plumy, 
very graceful; tinged in spring with a golden hue. 
C. pisifera plumosa viridis. Similar to preceding, 
but foliage is deep, attractive green. 
C. obtusa decussata. Shrub of very dense growth, 
after the style of Cryptomeria japonica elegans. 
Form nearly globular. Leaves needle-like, very 
silvery and assume bronzy winter tints. 
C. sphaeroidea ericoides. Similar to preceding, 
but with slightly narrower and longer leaves and of 
more compact growth. Summer color less glaucous; 
winter tints more pronounced. 
CRYPTOMERIA 
C. japonica. JAPANESE CEDAR. 125 ft. In 
Japan this is a magnificent tree of noble propor¬ 
tions. In California it does not succeed well except 
in the cooler, moister parts, as it suffers from hot 
summer weather. Growth is rapid; branches rather 
distant, giving it a loose, open appearance. The 
only species of the genus. 
C. japonica elegans. 20 ft. Botanically a variety 
of the foregoing, but so very distinct that the rela¬ 
tionship is difficult to recognize. Foliage fine and 
feathery, but very dense and compact; in summer 
a rich green, but changes to purplish bronze in 
winter. A very handsome small tree. 
CUNNINGHAMIA 
C. sinensis. China. SO ft. A tree resembling the 
Araucarias, but distinct. lias curving, flattened 
leaves in two rows along the wide-spreading, 
whorled branches. Requires a cool, shaded location. 
Very rare.
