DisTKiB. Hokkaido. 



This variety is distributed mostly in the southern part of Hokkaido, in the 

 provinces of Oshima, Shiribeshi, Iburi and Ishikari, extending to the central and 

 western portions of the island and even to the Ochotsk coast in some places. 



The figures of the cone in the Mayr's and Shirasawa's works, though rather 

 grotesque and diagrammatic, still show an attempt to delineate the characteristic 

 feature of the variety. The Beissner's figures of the cones, as well as of the scales, 

 bracts and leaf are the excellent representatives of those of the var. Mayriana, 

 although the figure of the leafy branch, on which two cones were drawn as if they 

 had been growing there, appears to us to have been copied from the Master's 

 figures, for they are so similar to each other in many details. The Master's 

 figures represent, however, the typical form of the Saghalin Fir. His materials 

 were collected in 1 879 by Maries in the vicinity of Horoizumi in the Prov. Hidaka.
