Abstract
By the courtesy of Mr. Ingram I am enabled to say that the tree at Belvoir supposed to be Araucaria Cunninghami is in reality, as surmised by Capt. King, Cunninghamia sinensis. The Cunninghamia is a native of Southern China, whence it has been introduced into Japan. In this country it was originally grown under, glass, but, as the instance at Belvoir illustrates, such protection is not absolutely requisite. The tree is however somewhat tender, and so far as I know has never produced its cones in this country in the open air.
