Get a Taxonomic Key/Book on Tree Identification....Identify if it is flower or cone bearing.....see if the leaves are broad leaf or it if it has needle-like leaves, observe leaf arrangement and then key out general characteristics to more specific to name the exact tree you have.

Duma, I see you've already asked this question twice. What you should do is contact some invertebrate researcher (in a museum or natural history institution) for help, because local keys and checklists of fauna are not easy to find unless one knows where to look for them.\n\nHere are some links to papers with reference to Asian species, that's the closest I could get.\nhttp://zoolstud.sinica.edu.tw/Journals/39.4/285-294.pdf\nhttp://zoolstud.sinica.edu.tw/Journals/40.4/276.pdf\nhttp://www.senckenberg.uni-frankfurt.de/odes/03-11.pdf\n\nHere's a link to a journal that specializes in invertebrate systematics:\nhttp://www.publish.csiro.au/nid/121/issue/529.htm\n\nAnd here's the citation of two papers about freshwater earthworms:\n \nOhtaka, A.; Usman, R. 1997. Records of tubificid oligochaetes from Padang, West Sumatra, Indonesia, with description of a new species of Aulodrilus Bretscher. Species Diversity 2: 145-154.\nOhtaka, A.; Hartoto, D.I.; Usman, R. 2000. Preliminary study on freshwater Oligochaeta in Indonesia. Rep. Suwa Hydrobiol. 12: 29-38\n\nYou coult try to contact Mr Ohtaka.\nhttp://read.jst.go.jp/ddbs/plsql/KNKY_EG_24?code=1000003153

the only "elmwood" I've ever heard of is also called japanese maple.\n\n"An upright grower to perhaps 10', with light green leaves that are reticulated when young, reminding one of 'Sister Ghost' or Peaches & Cream. Also sold as "Elmwoodie". This is a new cultivar about which not much is known, at least by us".

Yes there is one called my trees.  www.mytrees.com you can find your ancestors for free.All you have to do is go to the extraction documents bit.Translate an old document for them and this then allows you an hour looking through their records.Why not take a look.Good luck.

If you are using internet explorer, you can go to view -> encoding -> {select chinese, either traditional or simplified}.  If you don't see these choices, select more, and you should be able to see a more comprehensive list.

Search for Hsing-I online. For example, www.hsing-i.com actually has some videos. Hsing-I isn't really a style you can pick up from watching a video though... \nAlso, the style has many variations and lineages as well as names in English. Do your online research first with searchs on terms like "Hsing-I, Xinyi, Xingyi, Hing Yi, Singyi, Hsing yi, mind and intent boxing, shape and heart boxing, etc."

These systems are called BIOLOGICAL KEYS.\n\nBooks will have titles such as, 'Key to Flowering Plants', or perhaps more specifically, 'Key to Woodland Trees', etc. Some however, have more unusual names such as 'Excursion Flora' (!!!).\nKeys used by Biologists are often very complicated and difficult to use because of the very specific language they need to be precise. So if you were to have a go with one you must find a key that is designed for your current level of understanding.\nYou will also need to decide which bit of nature you want to study, e.g. woodland plants, pasture plants, shoreline plants, salt marsh plants, etc. Identifying trees has a further problem in that leaf shape is an important identifier but deciduous trees lose their leaves in winter; in this case 'winter bud shape' is used instead.\n\nThe link below is an example of an online key produced by the county of Hampshire, UK to identify trees:
