Uah. Prov. Bitchu : Onaga in Takakura-mura, Kawakami-gori, in 

 forest on the side of the River Takayana (ZcnsaJcc Yoshtno\ July 2, 1901);

 Coll. Imp. Univ. Tokyo, July 10, 1880; T. Maldnol July 10, 1801, Aug.

This species is closely allied to the British-Indian Gardner ht ouata 

 Wall. ; but the leaves are more angustate, the flower ,j-merous and 5- 

 androus, tlic corolla-lobes more angustate and acute, and the anthers free 

 although they are convergent. It differs also from G. nidans fciieb. 

 et Zucc., which iias the single- (? rarely 2-3-) fiowered i)eduncle, white 

 flowers, and more incons[)icuous-veined leaves. It is growing wild in the 

 l)rovince of Bitchu, as (juoted above ; Yoshino's specimen which was kindly 

 sent to me, was the first which led me to count this si)ecics beyond doubt 

 among the Flora of Japan. 



Thujopsis dolabrata hjieb. et Zucc. var. Hondai Makino var. nov. 



Cones globose, 1^-2 cm. in diameter, fulvous-brown ; scales ij-'S, 

 thick, woody, unequal in size, cuneate ; apex-face square in the U[)i)er 

 ones, but transversely oblong in the lower ones, slightly umljonale in

Bah. Prov. MuTsr : Near Awomori (Herb. ! Dendr. Inst. Agrie. Coll. 

 Imp. Univ. Tokyo, Oct. 1899). 



This differs from the typical species by the shape of the cone. It 

 forjns a beautiful and great forest near Awomori, etc. (in Prov, Mutsu) 

 in the northern Ja})an, where it is commonly known under the name 

 Hiiioki. The wood lias the best (quality and supplies superior timber, 

 while that of the typical one is distorted and inferior. 



I have named it in honour of Dr. Seiroku Honda, I'rofessor of 

 Dendro^v in the Agricultural College, Im[)erial University of Tokyo.
