The specimen is but a relatively small fragment of the individual plant,
which is often over a metre in length; the form is pyramidal, the general
habit being that of a fir tree, to which it was likened in the original descrip-	new york botanical garden

well deserved : ? Alga maxime spectabilis et inter omnes species hujus generis	, I______________________
facile pulcherrima.?	02217581
