The forms of the leaves in Matsumnra's specimens are ellip- 

 tical or lanceolate-elliptical, with long* acuminate mucroiiate 

 apex, while in Itô's specimens they are oval or obovate-oval, 

 with obtusely cuspidate or acuminate apex. As our materials are 

 not sufficient to determine the limitation of species in this dif- 

 ficult genus, we have simply followed Maximowicz. Lawson (in 

 Hook. f. Fl. Brit. Ind. I, p. 639) unites many forms under the 

 name E. dahurica, while Forbes et Hemsley left Wright's 

 specimens from the Luchuan Islands undermined. Farther 

 investigation is necessary to deiine the limits of the Eastern 

 Asiatic species of this genus.
