Near Tetradenia variabillima HAY AT A, but differs from it by the quite 

 glabrous leaves and the very small ovoidal gemma?.

Note : So far as are concerned the Formosan species of the 

 Tetradenia is very well defined from Litsea and ActinodapJme, in having 

 trinerved leaves and dimerous flowers ; but the latter two are not very clearly 

 separated each other, the number of stamens being variable from 9 to 12 or 

 even more.
