14 Nr. 2. C. H. OSTENFELD and C. SYRACH LARSEN: 
the late East India Company« in »Herb. Bot. Haun«. is part 
of GRIFFITH's private collection. It has been collected at 
a rather earlier stage than the preceding, but the female 
inflorescence in this case also has probably passed the 
flowering stage, and its length of 2 cms. is almost certainly 
rather greater than that of the immature female flower. 
The colour appears to have been the same as that in 
Hooker’s material, and the specimens show the same long, 
strongly recurved bracts, which, presumably, are already 
found before the flowering stage has been reached. The 
one-year’s shoots have the same colour and the same faint 
downy covering as in the case of the previously-mentioned 
specimens. There are only a few leaves attached, which 
resemble the preceding specimens; the main bulk of loose 
leaves does not belong to L. Griffithiana at all, but ap- 
parently to Cedrus deodora. The same is true in the case 
of some of the unattached female flowers. This confusion 
need not be attributed to GRIFFITH himself, but to subsequent 
mistreatment of his material (Vide Bot. Mag. 1908). 
It is not known with any certainty, whether this species 
has been introduced into Denmark, as there are no existing 
specimens of cones from trees grown in this country under 
the name of L. Griffithiana.
