ART. I'J. — B. HAYATA 



Hab. in montc Morrison, leg. W. Torii, 1900 ; Seizan, in mon- 

 tibiis Morrison, ad 11579 peel, alt., leg. S. Nagasawa, Nov. 1905, 

 (No. 752) ; in isdem montibus, ad 13000 ped. alt., (No. 2262), et 

 ad 8000 ped. alt., (No. 2039), in montibus centralibus, (No. 2099), 

 leg. T. Kawakami et U. Moei, Nov. 1906. 



Very like J. communis Lixn. ; but 



differs from it in having pointed vestiges 



on the fruits ; also near J. taxifolia Hook. 



A ''^^Wi^ ^^ Aen., but differs from it in having 



Al im s^llil ji acute leaves ; from J. rlgida Sieb. et 



Zucc, in having less narrowed leaves 

 and acute vestiges on the fruits. 



The present plant has erroneous- 

 ly been regarded b}^ myself and also by 

 some other botanists as the same species 

 as tlie Bonin J. taxifolia. On re-examining 

 carefully the all specimens of the genus, 

 Juniperus, from Cliina, Formosa, Japan, 

 the Bonin islands and Loo-choo archi- 

 pelago, 1 have found that J. taxifolia is 

 confined to the latter two archipelagos, 

 but does not extend to either Formosa 

 or China. Tlie Formosan j^lant differs from the Bonin species in 

 having pungent leaves. As to the Juniperus of Cliina, I was so 

 fortunate as to examine the same specimens which were studied 

 by the late Dr. M. T. Masters, F. R. S., F. L. S. The Chinese plant 

 collected by Mr. E. H. Wilson in West China, Changyang (Hupeh, 

 No. 428), wliich is referred to J. taxifolia by that eminent authority^'
