CONIFERJE FROM FORMOSA. 299 
intimis cireumdatum, oblongum, apiee attenuatum, Galbulus globosus vel 
oblongus, 6 mm. longus, extus bractearum apicibus notatus. Semina 
solitaria, globoso-ovoidea, 5 mm. longa, 4 mm. lata; testa ossea sulcata ; 
embryo normalis ; cotyledones 2. 
Hab. ad verticem montis Morrison, 13200 ped. alt., leg. Shimoyama, 
anno 1899 ; leg. R. Torii, anno 1900; leg. S. Nagasawa, anno 1905 (no. 585) ; 
leg. T. Kawakami, mense Octobro, anno 1906 (no. 2142, fr.) 
This new plant resembles J. chinensis in habit, but is easily distinguished 
by its solitary ovule on a short branchlet and by the shape of its cone. The 
leaves have a large single resin-canal near the phloem. So far, the plant 
does not seem to have dimorphic leaves, all the specimens we have at present 
having but one kind of leaf. 
Cunninghamia was hitherto a monotypic genus, having only C. sinensis, 
В. Br. 16 is therefore most remarkable that we have here an addition of 
another species to this interesting. genus. The new Cunninghamia Пете 
described was kindly sent to me by Mr. T. Kawakami, Government Expert 
of Formosa. It was obtained by Mr. Konishi on Mt. Rantaizan at an altitude 
of about 2000 m. It is very rare in the coniferous forests and attains 
a considerable height ; it affords а good timber, which bears much resemblance 
to that of Chamecyparis.

Mr. T. Kawakami informs me that this new plant is intermediate in 
habit between Cunninghamia and Taiwania, On examining the specimen 
carefully, I find the cone of the plant has a secondary squama, and should
