Cunninghamia (after J. Cunningham, botanical collector, who discovered this conifer in China in 1702). Pinaceae. Evergreen trees cultivated for their handsome foliage. Trunk stout: branches verticillate, spreading, pendulous at the extremities: Lvs. linear-lanceolate, rigid, densely spirally arranged and 2-rowed in direction: fls. monoacious; staminate oblong, pistillate globose, both sexes in small clusters at the end of the branches: cones roundish-ovate, 1-2 in. long, with roundish-ovate, serrate and pointed, coriaceous scales, each with 3 narrow-winged seeds at the base.—Two species, in S. W. China and in Formosa. The species in cult, is a very decorative conifer for warmer temperate regions, much resembling the Araucaria brasiliensis. It prefers a half-shaded position and sandy and loamy humid soil. Prop, by seeds or cuttings of half-hardy wood in late summer under glass; short sprouts from the old wood of the trunk or larger branches are the best; cuttings from lateral branches grow into weak and one-sided plants. ^CH The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
