HAB. Suisha, Shushugai. 



DISTRIB. Central China. 



Sterile, branches straight, greenish, wrinkled lengthwise. Leaves 

 subopposite or alternate, lanceolate or ovately lanceolate or oblong, acuminate 

 at the apex, obtuse at the extremity, attenuate at the base, remotely serrate 

 011 the margin, entire downwards, whitish above (in a dried specimen), 

 pallid below, 8-10 cm. long, 3-4 cm. broad, petioles 8 mm. long, veins and 

 veuules slightly elevate above, inconspicuous beneath. 



I have compared the present plant with a Chinese specimen so labelled 

 in the Herbarium at Kew, and found that the Formosan plant is, so far as 

 sterile specimens are concerned, identical with it. In this, Mr. SPRAGTJE 

 concurs.
