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. LXXVII. CONIFERjE: ^bies. 1035 long. A tall tree. North of California. Height,?. Introduced in 1831. There are only small plants in British gardens. A tree with the general appearance of A. Douglasn. Branches and branchlets tubercled. Buds ovate, acute, covered with resin. Leaves turned in every direction, resupinate from being twisted at the base, linear, mucronulate, in- curved ; silvery beneath, articulated with an elevated tubercle, very short, not more than 2 in. long, rigid, rather sharp-pointed, and very soon falling off the dried specimens. Cones pendulous, cylindrical, 3 in. long. Only a very few plants of A. Menziesii were raised in the Horticultural Society's Garden in the year 1832 ; so that the species is at present extremely rare in this country. Readily propagated by cuttings. i. 10.
