MR. B. HAYATA ON NEW SPECIES OF 
longi, 4-6 cm. lati, squamis elliptieis basi euneatis sursum rotundatis leviter 
reflexis, 3 em. longis, 1l ст. latis coriaceo-crassis et sublignescentibus 
coneavis badio-fuscis, dispermis sed abortu monospermis Bractese brevissime. 
Semina ovata, apice obtusa, 10 mm. longa, б mm. lata, Testa coriacea, pallide 
ferruginea glabra. Ala membranacea, tenuis, cultriformis, 2 cm. longa, 
8 mm. lata. 
Hab. Shokakurin, leg. C. Owatari, mense Januario, anno 1898 ; Yaga- 
tayama, Taichu, leg. G. Nakahara, mense Februario, anno 1907. 
This Pinus is very near P. parviflora Sieb. et Zucc., but differs from that 
by the shape of the cones, which in the new species are usually reflexed and 
especially so in the lower scales. The wings of the seeds are much larger 
than those of P. parviflora. 
According to the information from Mr. (+. Nakahara, the plant grows in 
the mountainous districts of the Taichi prefecture, at an altitude of 1500 m. 
Forming a forest along a valley, parallel to the Camphor forests, this pine 
gives the most remarkable feature to the vegetation of this district. Attaining 
a height of about 15 m., and a diameter of a little less than 1 m., it has an 
outline of a conical form, its branches spreading quite loosely upwards from 
the middle of the trunk, and downwards to about the reach of one’s arms. 
The trunk is greyish white, very straight like a fir and the texture of the 
bark is very similar. The distribution of this Pinus is rather local, being 
limited to the western slope of the central mountain-ranges in the middle 
part of the island. It grows mostly on clay slates. 
The following Juniperus was found on the top of Mt. Morrison at an 
altitude of about 4000 m., and was first collected by Mr. Shimoyama. 
Although the same mountain has since been botanized by several collectors, 
the specimens brought to me were but fragments of a barren branch. I 
could get no more information about this species than that it is something 
like Juniperus chinensis, Linn., until Mr. T. Kawakami gave ше a perfect 
specimen, Examining this material, I find that it is very different from 
J. chinensis, Linn. The following description is mostly based upon 
Mr. T. Kawakami's specimens.
