The present plant is described in my paper " Fl. Mont. Formos." as re- 

 presenting a variety of Wiamnm arguta MAXIM. I have examined the type of the 

 latter plant at Kew, and found that the difference between the type and the 

 variety is so great that I think it better to raise up the latter to specific 

 rank. The Formosan Rlmmnus differs from the other in having slender 

 flowers and longer styles, and especially in the supra-axillary inflorescence.

The plant is very near R. trlqnctm WALL, and perhaps further study 

 will prove that they are identical.
