PINACEAE 
FOKIENIA Henry and Thomas 
\\) FOKIENIA MACLUREI sp. nov. Fig. 1, a. 
Species F’. hodginsii affinis, differt squamis foliaceis breviori- 
bus, orbiculari-obovatis, lobis lateralibus brevissimis, obtusis 
vel subacutis, haud cuspidatis. 
A tree about 10 m high, the 
ultimate branches terete, brown, 
about 3 mm in diameter, the bark 
thin, the leaf-bearing branches 
about 10 cm long, the ultimate 
branchlets pinnately arranged, 
distichous, flattened, 2 to 4 cm 
long, 3 to 4 mm wide including 
the scalelike leaves, the dorsiven- 
tral leaves (or central lobe of 
the scale) broadly triangular, sub- 
acute, about 1 mm long, the 
lateral leaves (or flattened lateral 
a b expansions of the scales) with 
Fic. 1. Branchlets of Fokienia Henry and 1ree, broadly ovate, obtuse to sub- 
Thomas. a, F. maclurei Merr. sp. nov-; acute tips which scarcely attain 
ee 1 mm in length, the entire scales 
in outline orbicular-obovate, coriaceous, 2 to 4 mm, about as 
wide as long, glaucous beneath. Cones globose, brown, about 
12 mm in diameter, the scales about 12, coriaceous, somewhat 
peltate. 
Fokien Province, Taai Yeung Shaan, F’. A. McClure 6572, July 
19, 1921. In moist valleys and on slopes, altitude about 600 
meters, with the local name shaan paak tsz. 
A species differing remarkably from the type and only other 
known species of the genus, Fokienia hodginsii Henry and 
Thomas, in its shorter, differently shaped leaflike scales, the 
lobes being obtuse or merely subacute, not cuspidate, the free 
tips of the lateral lobes not exceeding the middle lobe in length.
