with a fleshy aril. Mesophyll of the leaves with resin-canals, except in 
Taxus. About 70 species in tropical and subtropical regions. 
Pam. II. Pinaceae. Ovules associated in perfect cones; the seeds 
hidden between the scales till ripe; the testa woody or leathery, never 
fleshy; aril never formed. Mesophyll of the leaves always with, resin- 
canals. About 300 species, mostly in temperate regions. 
KEY TO PHILIPPINE GENEKA OF TAXACEAE. 
a. True leaves reduced, phylloclades developed— 3. Phyllocladus 
aa. Leaves truly foliaceous. 
b. Anther-cells 2; carpels 1-ovuled; epimatium always developed. 
e. Epimatium free from the integument - 1. Dacrydium 
cc. Epimatium always grown together with base of carpel—..... 2. Podocarpus 
bb. Anther cells 3-8 ; carpels bi-ovulate or reduced to a single terminal ovule 
on the squamate stem; epimatium wanting. Seed surrounded by an aril. 
4. Taxus 
1. DACRYDIUM Soland. 
Flowers dioecious, rarely monoecious. Staminate flowers terminal; 
microsporophylls leaves, scarcely or not at all changed; apiculae large; 
male flowers rarely densely imbricate, anthers borne at the base of squa- 
mate axillary scales in the manner of Podocarpus ; cells always 2. 
Pistillate flowers terminal or rarely oh short axillary branches; car- 
pidia l-several, free; ovule single, epimatium and covering turned and 
affixed to the. base; epimatium almost wholly. covering the young ovule; 
young ovules more or less inverted-, .micropyle facing toward the base of 
the carpidium, falsely erect ; seeds surrounded by the base of the epima- 
tium; testa hard; integument of the ovule always free from the epima- 
tium, not connate with it. Trees or shrubs. Leaves rarely ovate-lan- 
ceolate and mostly small, squamiform or of different forms, in young 
state like linear leaves, in adult state transformed into squamiform leaves. 
Sixteen species in the Malayan region, New Zealand, and Tasmania.

Very distinct by tirtue of its ovate-lanceolate falciforui leaves' The 
Bornean form, as I have seen it, has usually slightly larger leaves than 
the Philippine.
