The present plant is in every respect very like Rhus Toxicodendron 

 LINN., but differs from it in having densely bristled fruits. The species 

 appears to be referable to Trichocarpese, on account of its bristled 

 exocarpium. It is also to be referable to Veneuata3 by the meso- 

 carpium and general characters of the fruit. The plant may better be placed 

 between the two sections. Bristled fruits are sometimes found in the Japa- 

 nese R. Toxicodendron, though they are not so conspicuous as in the 

 Formosan species.
