Mr. T. Kawakami informs me that the habit of this new plant 

 is an intermediate between those of Cunninf/Jiamia and Talicania. 

 On examining the specimen carefully, I find that the cone of the 

 plant has a secondary squama. Therefore, this should undoubtedly 

 be referred to Cimninghamia. The leaf of this plant has stomata 

 on both surfaces, wliile that of C. shumsis has ]io stoma on the 

 upper surface, or a very few if at all. In the case of Taiicania, the 

 stomata are found on both surfaces. The new CUiiminghamia differs 

 mainly from the other species in the arrangement and the shape 

 of the leaves, and in having smaller cones and broader squama). The 

 timber is like other Conifers, the bark is reddish brown and in all 

 respects is very like that of Chauuect/parlx, but it has an odour 

 peculiar to itself. Tlie leaf of the present plant is more persistent
