West Szecuvan (Wilson 3020). 
JAPAN; MANCHURIA. 
Mr. Wilson speaks of this tree as being “ rare, but oceasion- 
ally met with in the wild mountainous country between Ya Chou 
and Tatien-lu at an altitude of 7500-8500 ft. The specimens 
were gathered from a tree measuring 100-150 ft. in height, 
20-25 ft. in girth. The timber is said to be of little value." 
Mr. Wilson, judging from the loeality in which it was found, 
thought it might be an undescribed species, but the resemblance 
to the Japanese A. firma is so great that I hesitate to separate 
it as specifically distinct. The species occurs not only in Japan, 
but in the Chinese provinees of Shensi, Yunnan, as well as in 
Manchuria.
