(6) ÏEXTAMEN FLOll.E LUÏCHUENSIS. 273 



Leaves i)inimte, glabrous ; leaflets 3 or o, ovate or oblong- 

 ovate, often ovate-lanceolate, acute or acuminate, rounded 

 or retuse at the base, entire, thin, green after desiccation. 



This is an interesting species, but unfortunately the 

 specimens are sterile and too imperfect for further deter- 

 mination. 



There is also a juvenile specimen, of a species of Clematis, 

 collected by Tashiro in July 1887 in Kushi-majiri in Kunjan 

 in the island of Uchina, at present indeterminable, but the 

 leaves are somewhat allied to the above species, from which never- 

 theless it differs by the leaflets having turned dark- brown in 

 drying. The leaves in this specimen are r3-foliolate, with the 

 leaflets lanceolate, acuminate, entire, and smooth.
