Zusammenfassung:	Physical and mechanical properties of 18 year old Cupressus lusitanica, an exotic to India have been reported. The timber was found to be quite knotty and also possessing compression wood. From the data it appears that the timber is weak in strength properties compared to the standard Indian species, Tectona grandis (teak) and Cedrus deodara (deodar) and it can only be used for light packing cases and rural housing.
