has been put back to P. japonica. — The species is widely distributed 

 in Japan as far north as the island of Yezo, but is has not been re- 

 corded from neighbouring countries, while P. obovata grows in several 

 places of Northern Asia. 



110. Palisota Elizabethae L. Gentil, 1. c, p. 423, fig. 176. — Caules- 

 cens. Internodia 15— 20 cm longa. Folia maxima, 35-90 cm longa, 

 10—25 cm lata, in petiolum longe attenuata, ad summum latiora. obo- 

 vato-lanceolata, apice longe acuminata albo-maculata; pagina sup. glabra, 

 viridi-nigrescente, pagina inf. velutino-grisea, v. argenteo-albescente; 

 petiolus crassus pilosus, 10—25 cm longus, late canaliculars margini- 

 bus fibrillosis; pilinumerosi, longis rufesce^tes. — Intermediate between 

 P. Pynaertii de Wild, and P. Albertii L. Gentil. It resembles the former 

 in its hairy petioles, but differs in its general form, whilst the leaves 

 are longer and the petiole widely channelled, as in P. Albertii. 



111. Palisota Albertii L. Gentil, 1. c, p. 423. — Subacaulis. Folia 

 maxima immaculata, viridi-nigrescentia, subtus velutinogrisea vel velu- 

 tino-argentea, 45 - 90 cm longa, 10 — 25 cm lata, in petiolum longe atte- 

 nuata, ad summum latiora, apice subito breviter acuminata, petiolo 

 ■crasso, 10 — 25 cm longo, lato canaliculato, piloso pilis brevibus, appressis, 

 marginibus efibrillosis. — At first sight this species bears a resemblance 

 to P. Elizabethae, but the leaves are not variegated, and the petioles are 

 -without the marginal hairs.

112. Fokienia A. Henry et H. H. Thomas in Gard. Chron., 3. ser., 

 XLIX (1911), p. 67. — Genus novum Gupressinearum, inter Libocedrum et 

 ■Cupressum collocandum; strobili globosi, squamae peltatae, quam in Cu- 

 presso # Chamaecyparide, sed dispermae; semina bialata, alis lateralibus 

 valde inaequaiibus, quam in Libocedro; folia et habitus Libocedri macro- 

 lepidis. — Species unica: Fokienia Hodginsii A. Henry et H. H. Thomas, 

 arbor, 40 ped. alta, in prov. Fokien Chinae orient alis. — Syn.: Cu- 

 jpressus (§ Chamaecyparis) Hodginsii Dunn, in Journ. Linn. Soc. (Bot.), 

 XXXVIII, 367 (1908); Henry, in Elwes et Henry, Trees o Great Britain, 

 v. 1,150 (1910). — It is intermediate in its characters between Cupressus 

 and Libocedrus, and may be briefly characterised as an evergreen tree, 

 belonging to the Cupressineae, with cones similar to those of Cupressus 

 {section Chamaecyparis), in being globose in form, and composed oi 

 numerous peltate scales, but with each scale bearing two seeds which 

 -are like those of Libocedrus in having two very unequal lateral wings, 

 while the foliage is nearly identical with that prevalent in the Chinese 

 •and North American representatives of the last-named genus.
