Spec. Char. Leaves in threes; upper in pairs, decurrent, awl-shaped,spreading, acute. ( Willd.) A tall tree, a native of the Island of Bermudas.Introduced before 1683, and flowering in May and June.

Description , S/-c. A lofty tree, with loose, thin, reddish bark, and very fra-grant wood. When young, it has acutely [jointed leaves,which spread open,and are placed by threes round the branches;but, as the trees advance in age, their leaves alter, and becomevery short; lying over each other by fours round the branches,so as to make the branchlets appear 4-cornered. The berriesare produced towards the end of the branches, and are of adark red colour, inclining to purple. According to Ray’sLetters, p. 171., it tvas introduced in 1683; but, in Martyn’sMiller , it is said that it was first cultivated by the Earl ofClarendon, in 1700. The wood is much used, in the WestIndies, for wainscoting, and different articles of furniture, asit is never attacked by cockroaches or other insects. It isimported into England for the purpose of making black-leadpencils ; and shavings of it, under the name of cedar shavings, 2358are used to put in drawers, &c., to keep away moths. The tree, being rathertender in the climate of London, is not frequent in collections ; hut plantsmay be obtained in the principal nurseries. The largest specimen which wehave seen is at Hendon Rectory, where it is about 2 ft. high. There are plantsin the Fulham Nursery, and in the Horticultural Society’s Garden. Price ofplants, in the London nurseries, 2s. Gd. each. At Bollwyllerand New York, itis a green-house plant.
