A tree closely related to Thuja and chiefly distinguished by the broader much flattened branchlets and by its conelets having 3-5 winged seeds under each scale.—Only one Japanese species. Its yellowish white close and straight-grained wood is very durable and is used in Japan in boat- and bridge-building.

Thujopsis dolobrata, Sieb. & Zucc. (Thuja dolobrata, Linn.). Pyramidal tree, attaining 50 ft., or sometimes shrubby: branchlets irregularly whorled or scattered, horizontally spreading and often nodding at the ends; branchlets 1/5 – 1/4 in. broad: lvs. glossy green above, marked with a broad white band beneath, those of the upper and under side obovate-oblong, obtuse, adnate except at the apex, the lateral ones spreading, ovate-lanceolate and curved (hatchet-shaped), obtusish: cone globose-ovoid, about 3/4 in. long; scales 6-10, much thickened at the obtusely pointed apex, the middle ones fertile and with 3-5-winged seeds under each scale. Japan. S.Z. 2:119, 120. G.C. II. 18:556. Gn. M. 2:23. G.Z. 25, p. 49. F.E. 16:517. C.L.A.7:364. S.I.F. 1:11. Var. altissima, Ansorge. Vigorous and of almost columnar habit. Var. cristata, Ansorge. Branches compact, very full and somewhat crisped. Var. nana, Sieb. & Zucc. (T. laetevirens, Lindl.). Dwarf form, with more slender and narrower branchlets of a lighter green. Var. plicata, Ansorge. Very vigorous with heavy branches which hang over and appear folded. Var. variegata, Fortune. Tips of branchlets creamy white. Var. Hondai, Makino (T.Hondai, Henry). Tall tree, to 100 ft.: branches more densely ramified: lvs. smaller and whiter beneath: cone sub-globose, with the scales not thickened at the apex. This is the more northern form and probably hardier than the type which has been called var. australis by Henry. Recently intro. and now growing at the Arnold Arboretum.

<!--  This section should be renamed Cultivars if it appears on a page for a species (rather than genus), or perhaps Varieties if there is a mix of cultivars, species, hybrids, etc    -->

There are two [[variety (biology)|varieties]]:

*''Thujopsis dolabrata'' var. ''dolabrata''. Central and southern Japan. Shoots less densely branched with slightly larger leaves, and strongly thickened cone scales.

*''Thujopsis dolabrata'' var. ''hondai''. Northern Japan. Shoots more densely branched with slightly smaller leaves, and less thickened cone scales.
