DOUBTFUL SPECIES. 
The following species reported from China have not been included in this list — 
for various reasons, mostly because of insufficient evidence of their validity. 
S. Davidiana A. De Candolle, Monog. Phaner. 1. 104 (1878). Not seen. ; 
S. flaccida Wright in Kew Bull. Misc. Inform. 1895, 118. This species is placed — 
by Wright in Eusmilax, but all the material I have seen of Henry's No. 3630, on — 
which the species is based, is strictly herbaceous and closely related to S. herbacea, — 
var. angustata. 
S. laevis, var. ophirensis A. De Candolle fide Wright in Jour. Linn. Soc. XXXVI. 
99 (1903). A doubtful identification. y 
S. cyclophylla Warburg in Bot. Jahrb. XXIX. 257 (1900). This may be S. — 
menispermoidea which is not included by Warburg in his list. A a 
S. cinerea Warburg in Bot. Jahrb. XXIX. 258 (1900). Probably not distinct — 
from S. ocreata De Candolle. 
S. Bockii Warburg in Bot. Jahrb. XXIX. 259 (1900). E 
S. Nebelii Gilg in Bot. Jahrb. XXXIV., Beibl. LXXV. 26 (1904). Probably S. — 
Sieboldii Miquel. 
S. Lyi Léveillé in Fedde Rep. Spec. Nov. VIII. 171 (1910). Probably S. ocreata. 
S. perulata Léveillé in Fedde Rep. Spec. Nov. IX. 78 (1910). Probably S. 
ovalifolia Roxburgh. 
Léveillé and Vaniot in Léveillé, Liliac. etc. Chine, 26-28 (1905) have published 
several new names under this genus, but without sufficient description to allow 
one to even guess at the synonomy. Their S. ocreata is preoccupied by the S.
