Clipped tives of Ciipressus oht > i/irc near Tokio, Japan. The notes relating to the habitat of Ciipressus ohtusa and the uses to whicli it is applied in Japan are equally applicable to C. pisifera* except that the latter is not held sacred l)y the Japanese in so high a degree as the former and that its timber is not so valualde. Althongli ulmost ahvays found growing together and in old age scarcely ?distinguishable from each other, they have long been recognised as distinct species by the Japanese wlio designate each by different yernacular names, calling C. obtusa Hi-no-ki and C. pisifera Sa-wa-ra. C. pisifera and all its varieties of Japanese origin that are in cultivation in this country \yere introduced by the late Mr. John Gould Yeitch in 18G1. * The habitat of Ciipressus pisifera is probably not confined to Japan ; it was gatlieredby Dr. Anderson in the Chinese province of Yun-nan in 1870—1871, but whether wild or• cultivated is not stated. 228 ruiHEssrs skmi&
