- The larch figures significantly in the third episode of the British comedy TV series Monty Python's Flying Circus, "How to Recognise Different Types of Trees from Quite a Long Way Away". Also, a picture of the tree would unexpectedly appear in the middle of other sketches with the voiceover "No. 1 the larch. No. 1 the..lllarch".

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:
“If the Union is now dissolved it does not prove that the experiment of popular government is a failure.... But the experiment of uniting free states and slaveholding states in one nation is, perhaps, a failure.... There probably is an “irrepressible conflict” between freedom and slavery. It may as well be admitted, and our new relations may as be formed with that as an admitted fact.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“The second fundamental feature of culture is that all culture has an element of striving.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
