This new Cunninghamia is in every respect just intermediate between C. 

 sinensis (=C. lanceolata HOOKER) and C. Konishii ; the forms of the leaves, 

 cones, scales, seeds and all others of the present species are just intermediate

 less patent and acuter leaves, in the smaller cones with the entire shorter 

 more rounded smaller scales and in the smaller seeds. It is at the same time 

 separable from C. Konishii by the longer acuter more patent leaves and in the 

 larger cones with the less broad scales and in the larger seeds. The new plant 

 is, though it is hard to say definitely, a little nearer to (7. sinensis than to
