PoDocARPUS Japonica elegantissima, ^or^, the Very Elegant 



Japan Podocarpus. 



A somewhat variegated variety of the Japan Yew, with 

 long, linear, narrow, lance-pointed leaves, which are, when 

 young, of a pale yellow, but afterwards change to a dull green, 

 and finally, when fully matured, become of the usual colour of 

 the species. 



It is a continental production, by no means deserving the 

 term " elegantissima."
