Trees and shrubs : an abridgment of the Arboretum et fruticetum britannicum : containing the hardy trees and schrubs of Britain, native and foreign, scientifically and popularly described : with their propagation, culture and uses and engravings of nearly all the species. Trees; Shrubs; Forests and forestry. 1411. C. occident^lis. at once, so that they may be swept away at one time for litter. C. occiden- talis is readily known from C. australis by its leaves being larger, and of a lighter and more shining green, and its wood being of a lighter colour in win- ter. The leaves also die off sooner, and of a brighter yellow, than those of the European species. It is more hardy, and is readily propagated by layers or by seeds in any common soil. f 7. C.
