Pittosporum daphniphylloides Hayata in Jour. Coll. Sci. Tokyo, 
XXX. art. 1, 34 (1911). 
Western Szech'uan: Wa-shan, cliffs, alt. 1000 m., October 1908 
(No. 1219; bush 2 m. high); Chiuting-shan, cliffs, alt. 1500 m., 
May 22, 1908 (No. 1219*; bush 2-3 m., flowers greenish yellow); 
without locality, ravine, alt. 1300 m., July and October 1903 (Veitch 
Exped. No. 3233; tree 8 m. tall); Mt. Omei, June 1904 ( Veitch Exped. 
No. 4745 ). 
This handsome species is closely related to P. napaulensis Rehder & Wilson! 
which differs in its thinner leaves, its umbellate-corymbose inflorescence and in 
its smaller fruits. We have not seen specimens from Formosa, but Hayata says 
that Wilson's No. 3233 in Herb. Kew is exactly like his new species. 
In woods and thickets and rocky places at low altitudes in western Szech'uan 
P. daphniphylloides is rather common as a bush or small tree. The leaf without 
the petiole is sometimes 25 cm. long and 9 cm. wide.

6000 ped.," J. D. Hooker & T. Thomson (in Herb. Gray). 
The P. floribundum Wight & Arnott with which Putterlick and others have 
confused this plant is well distinguished by its inflorescence, which is an erect much 
branched paniculate-corymb. In the Flora of British India the description 18 
based upon the two species.
