VEIMHII. 107 horizontal semi-lunate scales, disposed in a very distinct spiral round the axis, each scale enclosing a membraneous wedge-shaped bract, with a protruding edge turned back over the scale. Habitat.—Northern Japan and Saghalien. Introduced by us in 1879, through our collector, Mr. Maries. Abies sachalinensis is a very handsome Silver Fir with small narrow leaves and small cones, forming, with A. Veitchii, a sub-section of the genus. The very distinct and graceful aspect of this tree, together with its hardy constitution, render it one of the most valuable Conifers of recent introduction. The specific name refers to the island of Sachalin, or Saghalien, where it was discovered by F. Schmidt, a German traveller and botanist, who partially explored the island and the district of the Amour about fifteen years ago. Abies Veitchii.—A tall, slender, handsome tree, with a trunk upwards of 100 feet high, thickly furnished with whorls of slightly ascending branches. The trunk is covered with whitish bark; that. Fig. 27.—Foliage of A&es Veitchii. Natural size. of the branches is also whitish, and slightly furrowed by the pulvini. The leaves are rather close set, the lateral ones spreading in a distichous manner, those on the upper side much shorter, appressed,.
