5 Pseudotsuga Forrestii, Craib, sp. nov., P. sinensi, Dode, similis 
sed foliis longioribus, strobilis maioribus, bracteis con- 
spicue maioribus distinguenda. 
Arbor 60—80-pedalis (ex Forrest) ; ramuli hornotini brunnei, 
pilis brevibus rigidis saepe reflexis conspersi puberulive tantum, 
annotini pallescentes, demum plus minusve grisel ; alabastra 
runnea, perulis saltem interioribus ciliatis, paucis per annos 
I-2 persistentibus. Folia spiraliter inserta, pectinatim dis- 
posita, apice rotundata, bilobulata, lobulis saepissime inaequali- 
bus, usque ad 4.5 cm. longa, circa 2 mm. lata, costa supra con- 
spicue impressa subtus prominente, margine sicco plus minusve 
recurva, subtus stomatifera, fasciebus sicco griseis vix con- 
spicuis. Strobili distincte pedunculati, circa 5.7 cm. longi et 
3.7 cm. lati, haud rarius valde resinosi, squamis bracteisque lis 
P. sinensis subsimilibus nisi squamis brunneis haud_pallide 
brunneis, bracteis maioribus longius exsertis. Semina cum alis 
T.3-1.7 cm. longa, subtus pallida, pallide-brunneo-lineolato- 
maculata, ala ima basi cucullata, ala facie superiore prope 
seminis apicem paucipilosa. 
Yunnan. Mekong Valley. Lat. 27° 40’ N. Alt. 10,000 
ft. Tree of 60-80 ft. Mixed forests. G. Forrest. No. 13,003. 
Fr. Aug. 1914 et No. 13,545. Fr. Oct. 1914. 
Young plants raised from seed of Forrest, 13,003, are in 
cultivation at the Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh. Twigs 
of a plant of unknown origin sent for identification by Sar Et. 
Loder apparently also belong to this species. 
Probably referable to P. Forvestii is a herbarium sheet of 
Ward's N.W. Yunnan and E. Thibet plants: Ward, 461, 
“ Very big tree up to 80 ft., on precipices and rocky places with 
Pinus, 10,000 ft. Also at Doker-la in mixed forest.” 
P. Forrestii can be distinguished from P. sinensis by trans-
