The Lyon Botanical Garden’s arboretum, which is linked up to the open-air collections, gathers about 600 trees in 650 species among which some are particularly remarkable. It is the case of Pinus bungeana, rare and spectacular (this one probably comes from the first seeds lot sent from China to the West via the Kew Botanical Garden in 1860), Cupressus dupreziana (only 1 000 specimens in the world) or Metasequoia glyptostroboides discovered in China in 1941!
