Some of the most important varieties are the following: var. albo-spicata, Beissn. Tips of branchlets white. var. albo-varie- gata, Beissn. Branchlets variegated with white; a very similar more constant form is "Triomphed' Angers." var. aureo-variegata, Hort. With golden yellow variegation. var. Cannartii, Beissn. A compact, ovate-pyramidal form, dark green, with bloomy bluish fr. var. chamberlaynii, Carr.

Dense shrub, forming a rounded pyramid, with mostly needle- shaped, bright green lvs. var. elegantissima, Hort. Tips of young branchlets golden yellow. var. glauca, Carr. Vigorous-growing form, with glaucous foliage. var. globdosa, Beissn. Compact globose form with bright green scale-like foliage. var. pendula, Carr. With spreading limbs and slender, pendulous branches: lvs. usually scale-like. var. plumosa, Hort. A graceful pyramidal form with needle-shaped lvs., the tips whitish (var. plumosa alba or plumosa argentea, Hort.), or pure white (var. plumosa nivea, Schwendt.). var. pyramidalis, Carr. Dense, columnar form, with the foliage glaucous (var. pyramidalis glauca) or bright green (var. Pyramidalis viridis). var. reptans, Beissn.
