42 TERNSTR(EMIACE.. 



HAB. Kusukusu prope Botausha, leg. B. HAYATA et S. SASAKI, Jimi. 

 11, 1912. 



This very rare and handsome tree was for the first time in June last year 

 collected by Mr. 8. SASAKI and myself, in my last journey to the island. It 

 was found on a crag by the mountain pass from Kusukusu to Botansha, 

 which was quite an unbeaten track for any one except for savages. The 

 flowers have a so close resembrance in its external feature to those of 

 Euonymus that I was led to mistake the plant for one of the Celastrus- 

 family. It \vas first recorded from the island by Dr. A. HENRY. So far as 

 I can judge from the description given in BENTH. Fl. Hongk. p. 25, the 

 present plant may be identical with this species.
