Vitex cannabifolia Siebold & Zuccarini is often referred as a synonym to this 
species, but, though undoubtedly very closely related to V. Negundo, it is easily 
distinguished by the greenish and glabrescent under surface of the leaves with 
the midrib and veins covered with short more or less spreading hairs. To V 
cannabifolia I refer the specimens from Chekiang, Fokien, Hongkong and Kwang- 
tung which I have seen. 
Here may be added a note on a variety not collected during the Arnold Arbo- 
retum Expeditions.
