Miquel examined only one specimen, collected and dried by a 

 Japanese botanist, so that its specific identity is particularly 

 doubtful and its affinities uncertain. I transcribe it, however, 

 as I find it, though it might be referred, as P. Rohrbaeh 

 suggests, to D. deltoides, which is not recorded by Miquel in 

 Japan.
