"The Coniferæ undoubtedly constitute one of the most interesting families in the vegetable kingdom, whether considered in connection with the former vegetation of the earth or in reference to their peculiarities of structure.” These introductory words to a memoir by David Don, published in 1841, are applicable with equal force to the Arauearieæ and afford a fitting preface to the present communication.
