resembles /. chinensis in its habit. The new Juniper is easily 

 distinguished from the other species of the genus by its solitary 

 ovule on a short branchlet and by the shape of its cone. The 

 leaves of this new species have a large single resin-canal near the 

 phloem. So far, the plant does not seem to have dimorphic leaves, 

 all the specimens having but one kind of leaf. The last plant 

 he has given is a very interesting species of Cunriinghamia. 

 The new species is named C. Konisbil Hayata. The new 

 plant differs greatly from the onlj' congener, C. sinensis, b^^ the 

 arrangement and shape of the leaves, smaller cones and broader 

 squama?. The leaf has stomata on both surfaces, while that of 

 C. sinensis has none on the upper surface, or a very few. The 

 leaf of C. Konishii is more durable than that of C sinensis; 

 the former lasts for eight, the latter for five years only. The 

 diagnosis of the new species is briefly as fallows: —
