M}^ specimens agree exactly with the Saghalin plant collected by Schmidt. The cymes 

 are terminal and subereet; flowers few in a cluster, also sulierect. They agree well 

 Avith Fi'ies's J. articidatas, var. snhatratiis, which is ])laced under J. lampocarpns,

 Africa, temperate Asia and eastern North America.
