154 SOLANACEJE. GESNEBACE^. 



The plant was first collected by Mr. S. SASAKI and myself at Kisan 

 near Maislia. The greenish leaves, which are shining above, but glaucous 

 beneath, remind me of those of the lauraceous plants. Flowers are white 

 and scentless. I saw another example of this tree at Kappanzan.

It was found by Mr. S. SASAKI and myself at a sunny place on a 

 mountain ridge at Kusukusu. This is the only example I have ever seen in 

 my excursions. The flowers are perfect white. They are much shorter than 

 those described in BENTH. Fl. Hongk. Tube of the corolla is 1 cm. long, 

 lobes are 4 mm. long.
