HAB. Randaizan. 



There is nothing like this at Kew. It is easily distinguishable by the 

 minutely and very shapely toothed leaves. 



Pyrus aucuparia var. trilocularis HAYAT.V Materials for a Flora of 

 Formosa p. 99. Fruits nearly globose, nearly 1 cm. in diameter, 3-celled, 

 cells 1- 2-seeded, or reduced to 1-seeded. Seeds compressiugly oblong, 34- mm. 

 long, reddish, otherwise the same as the type. 



HAB. Seizan. 



Very like the tipe, but differs in having 3-celled fruits.

Very like P. sinensis from which this is distinguishable by the leaves 

 which are acute at both ends. Also near P. Prattii HEMSL. and P.
