88 SUPPLEMENT TO THE PINETUM. 



(false, or spurious Maki). "Maki" is the name commonly ap- 

 plied, both in China and Japan, to all the large-leaved, Yew-like 

 plants — such as Podocarpus, Sciadopitys, &c. 



PoDOCARPUS Chinensis aurea, Gordon, the Golden Variegated 

 Chinese Podocarpus. 



This variety differs from the original form of the plant, in 

 having its leaves sometimes one half golden yellow, or furnished 

 with yellow marginal borders, or striped down the middle like 

 a ribbon. 



It was first sent to the Royal Nursery at Bagshot by Mr. 

 Fortune, from Japan, in 1861. 



Podocarpus Chinensis argentea, Gordon, the Silver Varie- 

 gated Chinese Podocarpus. 



Another fine variegated variety, with silvery white striped 

 leaves, variously marked, sometimes with broad bands run- 

 ning the entire length of the leaf, like a ribbon, while other 

 leaves are half white and half green, or all white and all 

 green. 



This handsome variety was first sent to the Eoyal Nursery 

 at Bagshot in 1861, by Mr. Fortune, from the neighbourhood 

 of Yeddo, in Japan. 



Podocarpus corrugata, Gordon, the Corrugated-leaved 



Podocarpus. 



Leaves very narrow, linear-lanceolate, acute-pointed, straight, 

 and tapering much to the base ; from 3 to 4 inches long, and 2 

 lines wide, with an uneven or corrugated surface above, and 

 minutely streaked or irregularly marked with small bright green 

 stripes, on a yellow ground colour, all over both faces, and 

 furnished with an elevated rib along the middle of each leaf, 

 both above and below. 



A large evergreen bush or small tree, with delicately varie- 

 gated foliage, much cultivated in the Japanese gardens about 

 Yeddo, and sent from thence to Mr. Standish, of the Royal 

 Nursery at Bagshot, byMr. Fortune, in 1861.
