This Japanese species is different from T. jasminoides Lemaire, as I have al- 
ready pointed out (p. 335), and seems to be most nearly related to T. gracilipes 
Hooker f. and T. siamense Craib. Unfortunately these two species are very little 
known and I have not been able to examine the type specimens of them. Their 
fruits have not yet been described. The follicles of T. divaricatum are rather parallel 
or spreading in an acute angle not widely divergent as in T. jasminoides. In Wil- 
son’s No. 6956 the mouth of the flowers is a little hairy, and Arimoto’s specimen 
resembles in its pubescence the wild forms of T. jasminoides, but the buds are 
distinctly long-pointed, while in the latter species they are often very acute but 
with shorter points. Through the kindness of Mr. Bean we have received flower- 
ing branchlets of the type-plant of T. crocostomum Stapf, which cannot be separated 
from the true T. divaricatum. Stapf compared his plant only with T. jasminoides 
Lemaire, which hitherto has been regarded as being identical with the Japanese 
species.
