This is the first record of the species from Formosa which is represent- 

 ed by a specimen exactly like the Japanese. That plant which was 

 recorded from the island by Dr. A. HENRY and enumerated by myself 

 in our previous works is perhaps not the same as the Japanese. Here is 

 another specimen which has a rather different aspect from the type. But, 

 so far as floral parts are concerned, it may be probably referable to 

 the same species or may be a variety of it.
