CHAMJECfiEASUS. See Zonicera. '£'FABIS (chamai, dwarf, and kuparissos, Cypress; referring to its affinity). Coniferce. Evergreen trees, with opposite, scale-like Ivs. in 4 rows, densely clothing the compressed branchlets : fls. moncecious, small; pistillate inconspicuous, globose ; staminate yel- low or red, oblong, often conspicuous by their abun- dance : cones small, globular, with 6-8 bracts, each bearing 2- or rarely 5-winged seeds, ripening the first season. Closely allied to Cupressus, which differs by its larger cones maturing the second year, the bracts containing 4 or more seeds, and by its quadrangular branches and minutely denticulate Ivs. Five species in N. Amer. and Japan, all very valuable timber trees in their native coun- tries. Highly ornamental evergreen trees of pyramidal habit, of which only G. sphceroidea is fully hardy north, while the Japanese species are hardy in sheltered positions north to New England, and C. Lawsoni- ana only from New York south. They grow best in somewhat moist but well-drained, sandy loam and in a partly shaded position, sheltered against dry winds. C. Lawsoniana and C. ohtnsa like more dry, the others more moist situations, and G. sphceroidea grows well even in swamps. Prop, by seeds, sown in spring ; in- creased also by cuttings from mature wood in fall, in- serted in a sandy soil
