Mr. Mahon notes that this species also occurs on the Chima- 
nina range, which forms the eastern boundary between Melsetter 
and the Portuguese possessions. The timber, according to the 
same botanist, is firm and odoriferous, resembling that of W. 
W hytei, as do the fruits and seeds, but the foliage is distinct and 
markedly so in the young state, when the plants are of a dull, 
dark green without the bluish-green hue so remarkable in young 
specimens of the Milangi cedar.
