(No. 8159). 



ThLs species seems to be most closely related to E. Ilcnryi Warburg and E, sarmenfosa 



Rchder. which both are readily distinguished by the narrower acuminate leaves and the longer 

 perigon. The Jai)anese botanists seem to have confused it with E. glabra Thunberg. as 

 the latter is credited to the Liukiu Islands by Nakai (in Tokyo Bot. Mag. xxx. 74 [IDH*]), 

 but that species differs chiefly in the longer perigon slightly constricted and the upper part 

 gradually narrowed, in the shorter pedicels and the acuminate leaves. Elaeagnus rotunda a 

 Nakai From the Benin Islamls which is somewhat similar in the shai)e of its leaves, is easily 

 distinguished by its slender and longer petioles, more or less persistent scales on the upper 

 surface of the leaves, by their often broadly cuneate base and by the short pedicels. A. R.
