Habitat. — In Japan, at a height of 1,625-3,250 feet, it grows 

 more like a shrub than a tree ; it is also to be found in forests of 

 deciduous trees on the Kamagana Mountains, on the Island of 

 Tsusima, near Nagasaki, where it is also cultivated, and on Nippon, 

 near Yokoska and Kunagava. 



It was discovered by Mr. Fortune in North China in 1848. 



Seems to be hardy.

This plant is better known among horticulturists as Podocarpus 

 Jcoraicma or Taxus japonica. That it is no other than a variety of 

 Cephalotaxus pedunculata M. Carriere has clearly demonstrated. He 

 remarks that ^ ' the doubts I expressed in my former edition relative to 

 the specific value of Podocarpus koraiana are realised, and, as I 

 suspected, instead of a Podocarp it is an accidental fastigiate form of 

 C. pedunctdata. I have seen a strong plant of this variety which at 

 2 feet from the ground had developed lateral branches with distichous 

 foliage, and which at that point had formed a verticil like a project- 

 ing stage, while the parts both above and below w^ere quite upright."
