8 CONIFERS AND TAXADS OF JAPAN 



northern limits at Nopporo and also from Hayachine-san in northern Hondo, and 

 it will be interesting to see if these produce a hardier race than that in general 

 cultivation. A variety of this species is

In the woods and thickets of Japan I searched diligently for a specimen of this 

 curious plant, but failed to discover one. Male specimens collected on Shiraga- 

 yama in Tosa province, Shikoku, approach it closely in length of peduncle; 

 they have acuminate bracts, but the flower clusters are simple as in the type. In 

 Siebold & Zuccarini, Flora Japonica, it is stated that C. pedunculata and C. dru- 

 pacea grow in the same regions and are both wild and cultivated. Apart from 

 material cultivated in Europe I have seen one specimen only and that from a 

 garden in Tokyo which represents the true C. pedunculata S. & Z. The male 

 plant only is known and I can see no reason for regarding it other than an abnormal 

 variant of the common wild C. drupacea S. & Z., and this is the view taken by 

 Japanese botanists and horticulturists. This variety was introduced by von 

 Siebold into the Botanic Gardens at Ley den in 1829. Another variety of this 

 species is

This f astigiate form is common in Japanese gardens and is known as the Chosen- 

 maki (i. e. Korean Podocarpus). It was introduced into the Botanic Garden at
