Abstract
A new and distinct selection of Japanese Yew, Taxus cuspidata, which shall be referred to hereinafter as `Monloo`. `Monloo` differs distinctively from other Taxus cuspidata plants by its unique combination of small dense needles, symmetrical low growth, shorter rigid branching, and a comparatively overall enhanced denser appearance. This uniquely compact and dense plant requires less pruning than other Japanese yews having horizontal growth habits due to its dense branching, and can be maintained as a small foundation specimen or can be planted in rows to form a thick, dense hedge.

I claim: 1. A new and distinct selection of Taxus cuspidata plant as substantially shown and described herein, that is characterized particularly as a novelty by the unique combination of small dense needles and a symmetrical low growth and shorter rigid branching and a comparatively overall enhanced denser appearance.
