FLOEA MONTANA F01{M(^S.E 213 



The Jiinipcrm described above was lirst found by ]\[r. 

 Shimoya^ha on tlie top of Mt. Morrison at an altitude of about 

 4000 m., in the year 1899. Although tlie same mountain was 

 since botanized by several collectors, the specimens brought 

 back to me were but fragments of a sterile branch. I could not 

 get any more idea about this plant than that it is something 

 like Juniper as chmensis Linx., until Mr. T. Kawakami gave me a 

 most perfect specimen of it. Examing the material, I have 

 found that the plant is far different from J. cJtinensis Lixx., in 

 having a solitary ovule on a short branchlet, and in the shape 

 of its cone. The leaves have a large single resin-canal near 

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

 leaves, all the specimens we have at present possessing but one 

 kind of leaf. 



CunniiHfh(nnia V\. Be. 



Cunnmfjhamia, being a monotypic genus, implies only C. 

 sinensis 1\. Be. It is, therefore, the most remarkable matter that 

 we have here an addition of one more species belonging to this 

 interesting genus. The new Canninghamia was kindly sent 

 to me by Mr. T. K aw ak a:\ii, (Jovernment Expert of Formosa. It 

 was o])tainGd by ^Ir. X. Koxisni on Mt. J\andaisan at an altitude 

 of about 2000 m. It is very rarely found in tlie coniferous forests, 

 and attains a considerable height. It affords a good timber wliich 

 bears some resemblance to Cliauiceci/pdris.
