A careful investigation of the internal arrange- ment of the cones should, however, eradicate all idea of distinct species. We have considered this subject to be of sufficient importance to illustrate the cones of several va- rieties, shoAving the very distinct appearance pre- sented. This species as- sumes different forms of foliage, similar to those mentioned under Thuja occklentalls. The com- mon form is seen in figure 45, while figure 46 shows the transition from the cataphyllary to the eui:)hyllary condition. If the species is liable to objection, its numer- ous varieties are valu- able, particularly the Var, aurea, Ilort.—Golden- Arbor Yitje.—This really desirable little shrub was introduced by Waterer, under the name of Thvja aitrea. It is apparently moi*e hardy-.
