36 PODOCARPUS VITIENSIS. 
merosissimis (40-50 in quoque fasciculo, 22-33 mill. longis, 1-2 mill. 
latis), utrinque subcarinatis, obtusiusculis, curvulis, erecto-patulis, 
molliusculis; amentis masculis oblongis, obtusis (8-10 mill. longis; 4 
mill. latis), primum subsessilibus, dein» pedicello breviusculo munitis, 
basi perulis latiusculis, obtusis, fimbriatis cinctis ; amentis foemineis te- 
flexis, oblongis, obtusiusculis (4—5 cent. longis, 2 cent. fere latis); 
bracteis late ellipticis, margine apicem. versus crenulatis (castaneo- 
fuscis), nervo medio dilutiore in euspidem longam, subulatam, patulam, 
squama multo longiorem producto’; squamis sübcartilagineis, suborbi- 
ċularibus, apice submarginato et margine longe fimbriatis, nervis validis 
à basi fere ad apicem radiatim notatis ; nuculis parvis, ala squamam sub- 
aequante.—Ad latus orientale montium Americze boreali-occidentalis, 
Cascade Mountains et Gallon Ranges, Rocky Mountains, latitudinis 49 
borealis; 2100 et 2300 m. elevationem supra mare, legit Cl. Lyall, qui 
mihi benevole speciem hane communicavit. Stirps ob ramorum anno- 
tinorum et gemmarum foliferarum lanam arachnoideam necnon ob 
uamas margine longe fimbriatas in genere insignis. Arbor 12-15 m. 
alta ideoque affini Larice occidentali valde humilior, a qua notis indi- 
catis, foliorum numero, directione et forma, strobilisque satis diversa. 
7. DauMaRA Mofleyi, Parlat.;* foliis parvis (3-4 cent. longis, 
15-21 mill. latis), oppositis, breviter petiolatis, vix basi contortis, ovali- 
bus, apice fere acuminatis, marginibus haud revolutis—In insula 
Borneo prope Bangarmassing legit Cl. Motley ann. 1857. Arbor ex- 
celsa, ab affinibus Dammare speciebus foliorum parvitate facile distin- 
guenda. Ipse Clarissimus Motley a Dammara orientali proxime Javæ 
insule speciem hane jam differre notavit, quamvis plante Borneensis 
strobilos videre non potuisset. 
The genus of the last plant must be considered doubtful, as the fruit is unknown, 
o I ask ion i rardeners’ 
be a Podocarpus. Some time ag 
branches are several feet long, whilst in Podocarpus it becomes bare at a very early 
stage ; and as far as I have been able to observe this distinction holds good.—B. 5
