This variety seems to be restricted to the southern Kuriles and northeastern Yezo. 

 The plant has been transplante d from Etorofu to the temple grounds of southern Yezo. 

 Professor Maximowicz's original specimens arc from a cultivated tree in Hakodate. The 

 plant is distinct from Larix japonica, M.urr. (L.l&ptolepis, var. Murrayana, Max.), which 

 grows on Mt. Fuji. 



The species is distributed through arctic and eastern Siberia, Dahuria, Manchuria, 

 northern China, Saghalin, extreme northern Japan, and Kamtschatka.
