Taxus cuspidata, Sieb. & Zucc. (T. baccata var. cuspidata, Carr.). Tree, attaining 50 ft., with a trunk usually 2 ft. diam.: bark bright red: branches ascending: lvs. usually falcate, thickish, distinctly and abruptly mucronate, dark green above, pale fulvous green or pale green beneath, 1/2-l in. long: fr. with ovoid seed slightly 3-4-angled and 1/5 in. long. Japan. S.I.F. 1:15. Very similar to T. baccata, but branches stouter and lvs. darker green above and tinged yellowish beneath, somewhat broader, more abruptly mucronate and thicker in texture. Var. nana, Rehd. (var. brevifolia, Hort. Amer. Var. compacta, Bean). Shrubby form with spreading branches densely clothed with short branchlets: lvs. somewhat shorter and duller, ascending and not or scarcely 2-ranked: slow-growing, rather compact while young, but with age becoming more open. C.L.A. 11:308. F.E. 29:409. Gn. M. 2:11. Var. densa, Rehd. Low form making a dense sometimes almost hemispherical bush with ascending branchlets: lvs. like those of the preceding form. Var. chinensis, Rehd. & Wilson (T. baccata var. chinensis, Pilger). Lvs. more falcate, lighter green, 3/4 – 1 3/4 in. long, convex above with the midrib very slightly raised: seeds broadly ovoid, slightly compressed, slightly 2-angled. Cent. and W. China.—This variety fruits very profusely. The plant offered as var. capitata does not differ from typical T. cuspidata. CH
