 651; tree 6 m. tall). Eastern Szech'uan: Wushan Hsien, woods, 1000 m. alt., 

 May 1900 (Veitch Exped. No. 573; tree 10 m. tall). Yunnan : Szemao, forests,

 Hongkong, No. 1704 in part); Little Hongkong woods, February 1905 (ex Hong- 

 kong, No. 1704 in part) ; without locahty or date, C. Ford. 



From Tokyo southward this is a common tree in Japan, and it is often planted 

 for ornament or used for making tall hedges. In central China it is very rare. The 

 specimens from Hongkong are all labelled Q. glauca, but we have seen no material of 

 the real Q. glauca Thunberg from that locahty. In this herbarium there is a speci- 

 men from J. Veitch & Sons of Q. bambusifolia Masters, sent by the late Mr. 

 George Nicholson with the date October 13, 1880. This is identical with Blume's 

 Q. myrsinaefolia and there can no longer be any question that these plants are 

 the same. 



Pictures of this tree will be found under Nos. x36, x42, x47 of the collection of 

 Wilson's Japanese photographs.
