Oreopanax Taubertianum.— Primordial leaves broadly tri- 



angular; petioles robust, base abruptly broadly dilated and 

 amplexicaul; leaflets digitately 5-9, chiefly 7, obovate-ellip- 

 tical (6-9X2-3'"),acuteIy acuminate, tapering to petioliile, 

 coarsely and sharply toothed above middle, membranaceous, 

 upper surface furfuraceous or glabrate, the lower stellate-pu- 

 bescent, areolation minute and pellucid-punctulate: staminate 

 racemes elongated (16-24'"), curving; pedicels pubescent, 

 crowded, slender, thrice exceeding small (3') globose heads; 

 petals 4-5, shorter than filaments, twice longer than single

 subtending one narrowly obovate; abortive ovary shortly ob- 

 pyramidate: fruiting racemes somewhat shorter, pedicels lon- 

 ger (9- 15'). heads 5-12-baccate; berries ovoid, crowned with 

 5 semiconnate styles, by abortion 2-5-cened and with as many 

 or fewer nucules, albumen fuminate.— Compared in the Ber-
