Dr. Henry does not state whether his specimen was from a 

 wild or cultivated plant ; but as he usually, if not always, labels 

 cultivated plants as such, it may be assumed that the Rice- Paper 

 plant is really wild in China proper, though, so far as we are 

 aware, it was not previously known to be wild except in Formosa.
