 (Vol. V. p. 1—358. PI. 1 — 17. 149 Fig. 1915.) 



The present volume is principally devoted to the Flora of 

 Formosa, The studies have been based for the greater part upon 

 new material, collected since 1912. This volume contains studies on 

 385 species and 8 varieties of which 203 species and 7 varieties 

 are new. Several, 23. genera are mentioned as new to the fiora of 

 the Island: Schisandra, Perrottetia, Pentapanax, Valeriana, Linociera, 

 Micrargeria, Pedicularis, Aristolochia, Phoehe, Psendodixus, Cycloste- 

 mon, Blyxa, Ottellia, Burniannia, Hedychium, Clinogyne , Disporopsis, 

 Trillium, Rohdea, Xyris, Lophotocarpus , Archangiopteris, Notholaena. 

 In the introductory notes the author raakes some remarks upon the 

 difficulties he met with in identifying his material with formerly 

 described plants, owing to the incompleteness of the descriptions or 

 the missing of figures. 



The species which are mentioned in this review without addition 

 of name of the author, are new species described in this paper. 



Ranunculaceae. Schisandra arisanensis (PI. 1), near 5. rubriflora 

 Rehder et Wilson, but differs from it by the ovately, but not obo- 

 vately, oblong leaves, more nuroerous stamens, much smaller car- 

 pels and not ciliated Stigmas. 



Berhevideae. Podophyllum Onzoi (f. 1), ciosely allied to P. plei- 

 anthum Hance, but distinguishable from it in the narrower, not 

 curled, petals, much larger Stigmas and in the anthers with produ- 

 ced connectives. Berheris rningetsensis (PI. 2), remarkable for the 

 very slender branches, and the leaves which are glaucous beneath, 

 and for the flowers with subpatent sepals and greenish ovary. Ma- 

 honia tikiishiensis, ciosely related to M. japonica (Thbg.) DC, but 

 separable from it by the much broader leaflets and by the broader 

 and more deeply lobed petals. 



Pittosporeae. Pittosporurn daphniphy Holdes Hay., new description; 

 P. oligospennujn Hay., new descr., fig. 2. 



Ternstroerniaceae . Stachyurus himalaicus Hook f. et Thoms., f. 3, 

 does not completely agree with the original description. Thea sali- 

 cifolia (Champ.) Seem., f. 4.; T. transarisanensis n. nom. {T. parvi- 

 folia Hay. non Salisb.). 



Riitaceae. Skitnmia distincte-veniilosa , f. 5a, near S. rnelanocarpa 

 R. et W., but distinguishable from it by the larger panicles and 

 much more rounded petals and by the leaves which are always 

 obtuse at the apex of the acumens. 5. arisanensis, f. 5c, and S. or- 

 thoclada, f. 5b. The three species resemble one another very ciosely. 

 S. orthoclada differs from the other two by the thinnest and largest 

 leaves with the canaliculated costa on the upper surface and by its 

 smallest form. 5. distinctevenulosa distinguishes itself by its nar- 

 rowest oblanceolate leaves with visible peculiar reticulations of the 

 veinlets. 5. arisanaisis differs from 5. orthoclada in much larger 

 form, in its thicker leaves with elevated costa on the Upper surface 

 and from 5. distinctevenulosa by the broader obovate or oblong
