Remarks
Protologue: ’“Thuiopsis borealis. Can you give me any information respecting Thuiopsis borealis advertised in your columns as a beautiful new hardy Conifer? I have received from Mr. Pontey a specimen (which I enclose) and which is certainly different from anything I have yet seen among Conifers. Mr. Pontey does not say what is its native habitat, nor what is his authority for the name. J. B., Biddulph Grange.' A plant under this name was exhibited in 1852, by Messrs. Thibaut and Keteleer at one of the horticultural meetings in Paris; and it was then reported to come from the mountains in the north of India, a strange statement coupled with the word borealis. In 1853 it was again shown in Paris, by a M. Remont, and it occurs in the list of Conifers cultivated in the Jardin des Plantes. Beyond this we have not traced it. The specimen sent belongs to some plant unknown to us, unless it is the young state of some Coniferous plant hitherto seen by botanists only in the adult condition. (sic)
