Pine met with by him. The wood is used for making torches. It bears 
a close resemblance to P. densiflora, but differs especially in the thickened 
cushion-like apophyses. The resin-canals are mostly subepidermal, but, 
as in P. densiflora, some are occasionally found in the substance of the 
leaf, especially near the corners.

obovatis dorso medio incrassatis. Novelli glabri aurantiaci, pulvinis parum 
prominentibus superne ad marginem eversis. Gemmae ovoideae in mu- 
cronem fastigatae. Perulae subcoriaceae, ferrugineae, lanceolatae acutatae 
ad margines albidas lacerato-membranaceae. Vaginae ad 2 cm long. 
squamis arcte convolutis membranaceis transverse sulcatis sursum jin- 
crescentibus. Folia bina linearia 10—14 cm dorso convexa, facie antica 
concava, apice cartilagineo- mucronata, marginibus obsolete serrulatis. 
Canales resiniferi numerosi subepidermide positi; meristela elliptica, fasci- 
culus vasorum bifurcatus. Amenta mascula —. Strobili sessiles patentes 
4—5 cm long, 3 cm lat, oblongi, basi apiceque angustati, maturitate 
squamis expansis ovoideo-subglobosi. Squamae lignosae. Apophysis 
clavato-dilatatus, umbo prominens deflexo-assurgens rhomboideus apice 
subulato mucronatus. 
China oecid., versus Tu-chu-lu (Wilson 3016!). 
Allied to P. densiflora and to P. densata, but distinguishable by its 
buds, itu cones and prominent umbos. 
3. Picea purpurea Mast., l. c., p. 418. 
Arbor 60-ped.; ramis vetulis griseis pulvinis parum prominentibus 
apice aequalibus patulis, ramulis novellis aurantiacis dense setosis, cica- 
trices subellipticae parum angulatae. Gemmae late ovoideae, squamis 
late oblongis subcoriaceis ferrugineis ad margines altius coloratis obtectae. 
Folia 10—12 mm long., linearia acuta curvata, complanata, facie superiore 
suleata glaucescentia, subtus nervo medio prominente carinata, utrinque 
stomatifera. Strobili immaturi 5—6 cm, purpurascentes, oblongo-cylindrati 
acutati. Bracteae haud visae. Squamae subcoriaceae late oblongae, su- 
perne productae ad margines undulatae saepe eversae. Seminis ala mem- 
branacea erecta asciiformis. 
China oceid., in silvis ad Sung Pan prope Tibetam, alt. 9500— 
11000 ped. (Wilson 3026!). 
A very remarkable species belonging to the flat-leaved series, distin- 
guishable by the characters of the bark, foliage, and cones. 
4. Picea Watsoniana Mast., l. c., p. 419.

tenues decidentes obtecti. Ramuli glabri, pulvinis prominentibus muniti. 
Pulvini oblongo-obovati superne erecti in petiolum brevem ascendentem 
angustati, cicatrix quadrangularis. Gemmae ovoideo-conicae, perulis sub- 
coriaceis ovatis acutis, ad margines tenuiores altius coloratis vestitae. 
Folia 10—12 mm long., linearia, eurvata, quadrangularia, ad apices acutas
