are peculiar to this region, as well as Picea Neoveitchii, P. Wilsoni, and 
Abies Fargesit. 
In South-Western China we have an approximation to the tropical Floras of 
Burma and neighbouring countries, as is evidenced by the presence of some 
species of Cephalotazus, Podocarpus, Pinus yunnanensis, P. densata, and 
P. prominens. А relationship to the Floras of the Eastern Himalayas, Sikkim, 
and Assam is shown in certain species found in the West of China near the 
Tibetan frontier, especially certain species of Cephalotacus, such as C. Oliveri, 
C. Мапий, Taxus baceata, certain species of Podocarpus, Pinus, Picea, Tsuga, 
Abies, and Larix. 
The numbers of species in Japan, as indicated in Table I., show, on the 
whole, that there is a considerably less degree of relationship (so far as 
Conifers are concerned) between the Floras of the two countries than might 
have been anticipated. Hayata, however, points out that the Floras of Japan 
and Formosa have a close relation, notwithstanding the proximity of Formosa
