Ever-green Leaves from SendaiP 



The materials for study were sent to me by the kindness of Prof. 

 Yasuda of the Second Higher School of Sendai, all of which were collected 

 in the clear afternoons of the cold days of January and February. Of 

 more than twenty species examined only eight were found to contain a 

 very few starch in the mesophyll. Calcium oxalate crystals were found, 

 more or less, in almost all Dicotyledonous leaves examined.

The materials were sent to me by the kindness of Mr. Aizawa of the 

 Middle School in Nara, all being collected in the cold days of January and 

 February. The result of examination nearly corresponds to that of Tokyo. 

 Of thirty seven species examined, starch was entirely absent from eight' of 

 them. Calcium oxalate crystals were found in many leaves.
