    CALOCEDRUS

    Commonly known as Incense cedar

    Reminiscent of old chalky-aired classrooms, the perfume of pencils. Coffins in China and the favoured hearth-board for friction firelighting by Native Americans.

    The narrow columnar form is a consequence of growing conditions outside the native range.

    Genus of 4 species of evergreen conifers from dry, warm temperate forest in southern China, Taiwan, Vietnam and western North America.
