* It seems to me that the i)limt is extremely variable, although I am not sure ahoiit the 

 Liibit of this i^lant in Formosa, as I have never stiiyed so long in the island as to stiady the living 

 state of the plant. As I have observed in Japan, the range of the variation of this pLint is very 

 wide. In ordinary condition, the leaves are disposed in whorls, but on the branches shooting 

 out from a stump after the stem is cut they are arranged alternatel3^ Mr. T. Mafjno also refers 

 to this point in Tokyo Bot. Mag. XX. p. 39, where he ex^iresses his opinion that .1. verticillata 

 Flsch. y. aUernifolia Franch. et Savat. is nothing but a sport of the type.
