The species is described from two gathering*, neith. r of which unfortunately it 

 in fruit. It is most nearly allied to the Carnosw group among Indian spx-ist: f,om 

 these its habit and foliage at once distinguish it. Is most natural alii ire, ho*. . r . tin 

 Japanese P. yezoemis and the American P. lanceolata. Jt is, however, one of the most 

 distinct species of the genus.

Specimen from Do-tho, 4 miles from Phari. 



This very distinct species is described from 14 specimens. Mr. Maximowicz in .-, 

 letter has suggested that its place is among ^the ,B<*trat*, and this is almost certainly 

 its true position. It bas been placed in the (top*** group of the Lutr,* sen,, 

 in the « Conspectus of Affinities, " but it is an aberrant member, and perhaps it 

 deserves an independent position.
