Trees and shrubs, hardy in the British isles . ansverse tuft ofdown between the scar left by each fallen leaf and the bud above it. J. CORDIFORMIS, Maximowicz. A tree up to 50 ft. high ; young shoots stout, covered with brownishglandular hairs. Leaves as in J. mandshurica and Sieboldiana, exceptthat the leaflets are somewhat more distinctly heart-shaped at the base,but not enough to afford a reliable means of distinction. Male catkinsoften I ft in length. Fruit globose, i^ ins. diameter, produced in denseclusters of ten or more. Nut \\ ins. long, very distinct in shape ; it hasa broad, rounded, heart-shaped base, and a slender pointed apex, and ismuch flattened. Native of Japan, but apparently uncommon in a wild state. Althoughscarcely distinguishable from its allies, J. Sieboldiana and J. mandshurica,in growth, it is very distinct from them in the shape of the nuts, which areoffered for sale in the markets of Japanese towns. In my experience this JUGLANS 665 is the best grower of this group of walnuts. A tree at Kcw about fifteen. Jt-OLAMB OORDirORMIR. years old is 20 ft. high, and produces both male and female inflorescencefreely. The former are very striking, although yellowish green. Nuts l^ in. 666 JUGLANS long have formed on this tree, and have occasionally matured. It is oneof the most striking of pinnate leaved trees. J. MANDSHURICA, Maximowicz. A tree 50 to 70 ft. high ; young shoots very stout, and like the commonstalk of the leaf, clothed with brown, glandular hairs. Leaves i^ to 2 ft.(in vigorous young trees 3 ft.) long, composed of eleven to nineteen leaflets,which are oblong, taper-pointed, finely toothed, obliquely rounded or slightlyheart-shaped at the base ; 3 to 7 ins. long, i^ to 2\ ins. wide. When young,both surfaces are furnished, the lower one especially, with starry tuftsof down, much of which afterwards falls away from the upper side. Malecatkins 4 to 10 ins. long, slender, pendulous. Fruits clustered severalon a stalk, roundish ovoid, i| ins
