In my Flora Montana Formos-ae I doubtfully referred this plant to C, 

 Wiyhtiana. After examining more carefully, I have found that the .speci- 

 men is the same as the Philippine form of 6'. LescJtenaulfi-ma DO. The 

 present plant differs from C. Wightiana in having fusiformed acheues and 

 thread-like filaments. C. Lcsclenaultiana described in KTNTZK'S " Monog. 

 Olemat. p. 107," has lanceolate leaves, while the Formosan plant has ovate 

 ones.
