 brought back with an example of the type by Mr. T. Uc HI YAM A from Formosa, 

 and has been cultivated for nearly fifteen yeais. Examples of the type 

 and the present variety are planted -on a western slop*' <>f the Koishikawa 

 garden. It is suggested to me by Mr. T. NAKAI that this may be a new variety
