 Liukiu Islands, but it has no conspicuous characters in its general appear- 

 ance and its flowers and fruits, which are probably produced throughout the 

 year, are insignificant.

r 



liumiliore. 



Cultivated at the Arnold ^Vrboretum, Type specimens collected Oc- 

 tober 30, 1919, preserved in the herbarium of the Arboretum, 



This is the first variegated form known of the Japanese Yew. It is a 

 low and ai)parently slow-growing plant with the leaves of the current 

 year's gro^^lh colored deep yellow. The color is most pronounced on the 

 more exposed branch lets; on most of the individual leaves and particu- 

 larly on the lower ones t]ic color passes into green toward their base and 

 after the first season the whole leaf changes gradually to green. The plant 

 has been secured from Japanese dealers who offer it as " Taxus tardiva 

 yellow-variegated . ' '
