CONIFERJE. 149 
Male flowers of this conifer were first collected by Mr. S. Sasaxr in 
1911 and also by Mr. K. Urwarsr, in the following year, although female 
flowers had been previously sent to me several times. "The description here 
given will complete the original which lacks an account about male. The 
male flowers of T'eiwania are ahnost the same as those of Chunnuinghamia in 
the main character, though the number of flowers contained in an involuere 
is considerably smaller in the former than in the latter. "The only point which 
I can find for distinction between the two genera regarding the structure of 
male flowers, is that pedicels of the staminal column of the former are jointed 
on the middle, while those of the latter are not articulated.
