Myrica Nagi Thunberg, PL Jap. p. 76 is Podocarpus Nagi Zollltnger 

 & Moritz. The specimen in Uppsala University is composed of one fruit- 

 ing branch and one seedling of Podocarpus Nagi. Cashjiir de Candolxe 

 also refered Gartner's Nagcia japonica, but as we see in the figures of 

 Tab. XXXIX of De Fructibus et Seminibus Plantarum I, it is also Po- 

 docarpus Nagi. Kanehira and Sasaki reduced Myrica adenophora var. 

 Kusanoi Hayata into this species saying that the former was named upon 

 such specimens of Myrica nagi (M. rubra) which grown on an exposed 

 and wiudswept places. But, in our herbarium-specimens, the fruits are 

 twice or four times as much smaller than the fruits of Myrica rubra. I 

 can not believe that wind and sun light will change the size of fruits as 

 such.
