Trees; Shrubs; Forests and forestry. LXXVn. CONl'FERiE : ^^BIES. 1033 breadth at the widest part. Seeds about the size of those of the common spruce ; with the wing, |in. long, and fin. broad. A pyramidal drooping- branched tree. Himalayas, in Kamaon and Sirmore. Height 50 ft. Intro- duced in 1818. The tree has not yet flowered in England. Varieties. Dr. Ro\le observes that the leaves in his figure aie much narrower than those of A. Smithianffl in Wallich's figure; and that the plants may probably be different species or varieties. Judging from the leaves, the tree in the Horticultural Society's Garden appears to be Dr. Royle's tree. The rate of growth of this tree in British gardens is almost as rapid as that of the common spruce, to which it bears a very close resemblance, but the leaves are longer and paler. It is readily propagated by cuttings, and abundance of seeds have lately been imported. Some doubts having been expressed as to whether this plant is the A. SmithJanrt of Wallich (see Bot. Reg. for 1841), but none as to its being the P. Khutrow of Royle, we have in this edition preferred the latter name. § ii. Leaves fiat, generally glaucous beneath, imperfectly ^-rowed. D.
