trichomanoides ? — is this the same as Cunningham's plant ? It is 

 called Tanaiwai, while the other is called Tanekata ; they look very 

 different, but I have no specimen of the Tanekata to send.' 



The remaining specimens were collected by J. D. Hooker and 

 identified by him as P. trichomanoides.

Four fruiting specimens from Bidwell (No. 12) ; 1839, New Zealand. 

 The appended note reads, ' Phyllocladus sft. nova. A tree 15 ft. high, 

 growing on Tongadido at an elevation of more than 8000 ft. ; very 

 rare. The plant is not of a much brighter colour when fresh than the 

 dried specimens.'

Three fruiting specimens by Menzies (No. 331) from the North 

 Island, New Zealand, 1838, labelled ' Dacrydium excelsum, Don.'

Two fruiting specimens, the smaller collected by Bidwell in New 

 Zealand and identified by Hooker ; the larger also by Bidwell (No. 5) 

 in 1839, with a note : — ' Dacrydium ; the dried specimens give an 

 exact representation of the habit of this plant, which I may be excused 

 for mistaking for a clump of moss when I first saw it on the tops of 

 the bleak mountains. Its colour (reddish bronze) was exactly that 

 most common to the mosses, with which it grew. The berries were 

 very beautiful, of a purplish red and about half the size of those of 

 the Yew. I think the plant is hermaphrodite, as I never found one 

 of any size without berries, although some were covered, while the 

 others had but one or two on the whole plant ; they were very good 

 to eat.' 



D. intermedium, T. Kirk in Trans. N.Z. Inst. x. (1878), 386, t 20. 



A sterile specimen collected by Menzies in New Zealand ; the 

 identification can only be approximately correct in view of the absence 

 of flowers or fruit.

Two sterile specimens labelled 1 Dacrydium sp., small tree with 

 pendulous branches while young ; 8000 ft. Borneo, Lowe.' 



Two larger sterile specimens, labelled ' Dacrydium, 8000-10,000 ft. 

 on Kina Balon ; branchlets also pendulous ; a stunted tree.'
