18_55 Berkeley, Dec. 1, 1907. - Mr. C.N. Forbes, Bot. 12, has been down to Cedar Mt., south of Livermore. He says the inhabitants were much incensed when he called the trees which give the ridge its name cypresses. The trees are very abundant, up to 65 ft. h.; 2 1/2 ft. diam. trunk near base; "foliage" clumpy not slender as in Monterey Cypress, yellowish not dark green as in Monterey Cypress. Cones very large, up to 1 1/4 ins. (7/8 - 1 1/4 in.) An old resident told him these trees had white wood all through while Monterey Cypress has red heartwood. Cones elliptic to globose. Bark staining purple. Says he saw a Heteromeles arbutifolia 30 ft. h. and 1 ft. trunk diameter. |
