Secundum Dr. H. Hattori exquo specimina accepi (gratias 

 ago), hsec planta sponte in archipelagine Boninense crescit. In- 

 coljE eas secus litus maris serunt ut insula a ventro prohibere- 

 ntur. Plantae usque 3 m. attingent et ramosissimte sunt. Cum 

 ramis aut foliis discerptis, lac (veneniferum ?) manat. Lignum 

 est fiavum, ita plantse ut 'yellow wood' nominatcE sunt. Pre- 

 sentia liujus plantas Philippinensis in hac archipelagine, credo,* 

 est effectus fluminis marini.
