140 PHYLLOCLADUS; OR 



threes, in little, close, fleshy heads at the base of the leaf-like 

 branchlets. 



A very small and compact little bush, somewhat resembling 

 Phyllocladus trichomanoides, found on the Mountains of Ton- 

 gariro, Ruahine, and those in the neighbourhood of Nelson, in 

 New Zealand, at an elevation of 6,000 feet. 



No. 2. Phyllocladus glauca, Carriere, the Glaucous 

 Phyllocladus. 



Leaf- formed branchlets, slender, and tapering to the base ; 

 of a reddish-green or rusty-brown colour on the upper surface ; 

 very finely and irregularly cut or jagged on the margins, and 

 very like those of Phyllocladus rhomboidalis, with an angular 

 footstalk ; the more younger leaves being of a glossy green, 

 slightly glaucous on the under side ; while the adult ones are 

 remarkable for their very white- glaucous or almost bluish-grey 

 colour. 



A kind of which little is known, beyond the above, and 

 probably only a glaucous form of the Phyllocladus rhom- 

 boidalis. 



No. 3. Phyllocladus hypophylla, Hooker, the Under-leaf 

 Phyllocladus. 



Leaf-formed branchlets, strictly oval-rhomboid, obliquely 

 wedge-shaped at the base, on footstalks, and with the lobes 

 oblong, obtuse, crenulated or toothed on the margins, and 

 glaucous on the under side ; the superior or flower-bearing 

 ones being obovate, truncated, deeply emarginate or two-lobed, 

 and irregularly toothed on the edges ; female flowers without 

 footstalks on the last or utmost division of the leaf-formed 

 branchlets ; very rarely in small heads of more than two or 

 three flowers on the terminal branchlets. 



A straight tree, found at Kini-Balu, in Borneo, growing at 

 an elevation of 6,000 feet, and of which nothing further is 

 known. 



It no doubt is tender.
