Thanks, Resin, I enjoyed that.

And a cultivar guy like Edwin even made a contribution. ;-)

The species could be interesting as well, however it's not my kind of field.
Imo it's very important to know something about these because the cultivars arose from them...

Resin, thanks for showing us this documentation, I enjoyed it as well.
It was a pleasure for me to made that contribution.

just to throw resin's boomerang back at him.. they are all green trees..

where are the variegated/dwarf/mini plants?? .. BORING!!!

lol

michael .. Merry Christmas to you and yours ...

Thanks for the link. I've printed it out and will read later.
More pics than I had expected.

This is really cool, thanks! Now we just need something like this for Podocarpaceae. 8^)

Thanks! Reminds me I need to knock the snow off the stephensonii

How old are they? Are you sure of the id? It would be interesting to see some photos and to learn to which coldest temperatures they survived in your zone and how long they were submitted to those temperatures.

Lots of great pics, but the text comes up illegible. Text within lines varies in size, spacing is v e r y w i d e, and lines of text are printed upon each other. Bizarre!

"but the text comes up illegible"

That's a display fault with inline browser viewing (quite common, though worse here than in most cases I've seen). If you download the pdf and open it with a pdf reader like Adobe or Foxit, it is OK.

I just checked it out myself. The tonkinensis situation is interesting and it does appear to be distinct and likely a good, valid species. Neat to see those HUGE C. torulosa. I took photos of those same C. gigantea in Tibet.

Resin,

I really appreciate that you make this publication available to us. It gives me a slice of the world-wide view of conifer species that I would otherwise not be aware of.

My word for the day is holotype: The single physical example (or illustration) of an organism, known to be used when the taxon was formally described.

Thank you!

Ok, I may be dense but I get "not found" is the server down?

Works for me! Try again?

Resin

Nope, but I googled it and got it.

The Bulletin could be a real boon for cypress devotees, but I think it needs to observe a higher editorial standard. Specifically, I found it quite offensive for Maerki to carry on what has the flavor of a vendetta aimed at Aljos Farjon with regard to the "Tsenden", even in one case accusing him of covering up a mistake. Reputable journals exclude such content through editing. Without editing you end up with a billboard on which anything can be posted, and you lose the respect of your readers.

As we see on this site all the time.
