Cuphea Llavea, Natural size. many or numerous seeds, but the lower scales usually sterile and smaller; they ripen the second year. About i species in C. Amer., north to Calif, and Ariz., and from S. Eu. to S. E. Asia. By some botanists, the allied genus Chamsecyparis is included. Highly ornamental evergreen trees, greatly varying in habit, only hardy in Calif, and the Gulf states. The hardiest seems to be O. Maenabiana, which will stand many degrees of frost in a sheltered position; also C. macrocarpa, C. Arizo- nica, G, sempervirens, funebris and torulosa are of greater hardiness than the others. They stand pruning well, and some species are valuable for hedges, C. mac- rocarpa being especially extensively planted for this pur- pose in Calif. The Cupressus seems to be less particu- lar in regard to soil and situation, but prefers a deep, sandy-loamy soil. For prop., see ChanMecyparis. The young plants should be removed several times in the nursery to secure a firm root-ball, otherwise they will not bear transplanting well. Monogr. by M. T.
