The treatment of this tree, when raised from seeds, may be con- sidered in all respects the same as that of the cedar; regard being had to the different size of the seeds, which will, of course, require a thicker cover- ing. Abundance of seeds have lately been imported, from which many young plants have been raised, and extensively distri- buted. Fig. 1986. shows the manner in which the seeds ger- minate ; a, the first appearance of the radicle ; b, the plumular, or young, shoot, in an advanced state. A. brasiliana Rich., A. ex- celsa Ait., and A. Cunninghamjj Ait., are half-hardy species, which will be found described at length, accompanied by nu- merous figures, in our first edition, p. 1440. to p. 1986. A. imbric&ta. Genus VII.
