The specimen bearing male flowers was for the first time collected by 

 Mr. U. MORI in Mt. Randai, w r here the plant exists very rarely. So far as 

 we are aware, the mountain is the only locality for this rare conifer. The 

 description of male flowers is given here for the first time, for the comple-
