From Tokyo southward this is a common tree in Japan, and it is often planted 
for ornament or used for making tall hedges. In central China it is very rare. - The 
specimens from Hongkong are all labelled Q. glauca, but we have seen no material of 
the real Q. glauca Thunberg from that locality. In this herbarium there is a speci- 
men from J. Veitch & Sons of Q. bambusifolia Masters, sent by the late Mr. 
George Nicholson with the date October 13, 1880. This is identical with Blume’s 
* myrsinaefolia and there can no longer be any question that these plants are 
e same. 
Pictures of this tree will be found under Nos. x36, x42, x47 of the collection of 
Wilson's Japanese photographs.
