CEDRUS. Noble evergreen trees with rigid and clustered leaves and erect oblong or oval cones rounded at the top. Scales of the cones broad, thin, coriaceous, entire, closely appressed, at length decidirous. Seeds winged. The species or forms are natives of the Atlas, Syrian and North Indian mountains. Dr. Hooker, who has had opportunities of observing them in their native countries, pronounces them to be forms or races of one species, whilst other accomplished botanists consider them entitled to specific rank. Whichever view we take of the matter is of little importance, because they a^e sufficiently distinct in the young state at least to be easily recog- nised. The ancient name of the Syrian tree. 1. G.

Scales with a somewhat mem- branous margin, separa- ting tardily from the Fig. 218. Cednis Litanl. This species was introduced nearly two centuries ago, and there are now many hundreds of fine specimens in various parts of the country.
