M. Carriere regarded this singular Fir as belonging to a distinct genus, and named it years ago in honor of John Baptist Kete-leer, of Brussels, under the name of Keteleeria For-tunei. M. Carriere has given in Revue Horticole a sketch of a tree now bearing cones in the garden of Messrs. Rovelli, of Palanza, Italy, where it thrives well. According to this illustration, it must be a beautiful tree where it succeeds. The cones are about the size of Abies Douglassii, which in a general view they much resemble.
