I am in possession of several specimens of this tree, which, however, are without either catkins or fruit. ^ 

 These are only known to me from a drawing taken during the stay of Sir Joseph Banks and Dr. Solander in 

 New Zealand iu the first voyage of Captain Cook. This as well as the following species I have merely referred 

 to Dacnjdium from their appearing to me to be more akin to it, than to any of the other Coniferous genera 

 hitherto published. I am well aware they cannot, with propriety, be associated with the Dacrydium Cupressinum 

 of Solander, whose habit is totally different. I have no doubt that, on future examination, they will be 

 found to constitute a distinct genus.
