CONIFERS IN CHINA AND NEIGHBOURING COUNTRIES. 205 
KETELEERIA is represented by four species, all endemie and occurring in 
Central, Western, and Southern China, including one remarkable species, 
К. Evelyniana, discovered by Dr. Henry in Yunnan. 
TsuaA has from three to five species enumerated, of which 7. chinensis and 
T. yunnanensis are confined to China, the other species being found also in 
Japan, and one, T. Brunoniana, in the Eastern Himalayas. There are two 
American species, one on the Atlantic, the other on the Pacific side of the 
Northern United States. It seems probable that some of the reputed 
Chinese species will hereafter not be considered distinct, but as varieties of 
T. Steboldi. 
PSEUDOTSUGA JAPONICA, the analogue of the Douglas Fir of N.W. America, 
occurs in Japan and also in Formosa. 
ABIEs, including the Silver Firs, is credited with seven species, of which 
some are common to Japan and four are peculiar to China. Of these four, 
two are remarkable species discovered by Wilson in the Min Valley and near 
Tatien-lu. Six species inhabit Japan, three exclusively. Some of the 
West Chinese species indicate an affinity with A. Webbiana and other East 
Himalayan species. 
PskupoLAmix Forrunet, Mayr, is the only representative of the genus, and 
occurs in Chekiang and Kiukiang. 
Of the true Larches, LARIX, eight species are enumerated, but they are not 
well defined, and it is probable that with increased knowledge some may be 
reduced. Four are recorded from China only, and one, L. Grifithii, which 
oceurs in West Sze-Chuan, is found also in the Eastern Himalaya. A single 
species is peculiar to Japan.
