 The Japan plants are more glaueous on the under side of the 

 leaves than those found in China, and form trees from twenty 

 to thirty feet high on the Kanagawa Mountains, a short dis- 

 tance to the south of Yeddo ; but, as Mr, Fortune observes, in 

 other respects the China and Japan plants are as like as two 

 peas.

 Mats" (evergreen fir) ; a very slight variation is sometimes called 

 " araucarioides " in the nurseries, on account of its supposed 

 resemblance to Araucaria Cunninsjliamii
