The genus exists in the Eastern Himalaya, China ad Japan. Of a lithe 

 species recorded from the countries alx>ve mentioned, the nearest is A, datior, 

 fi-oni which our plant differs by the much narrower and more attenuate 

 leaves, which are less dark than those of the congener. It grows on shady 

 places at an altitude of 2000 m. near Jurigi in the Arisan-ranges. It becomes 

 less frequent above or under that elevation. So far as I am aware, there exist 

 in Formosa two species of Aspidistra. The present plant is quite different from 

 the one taat I saw in the neighbourhood of Koshun.
