In the Arnold Arboretum there is a small plant raised from the seeds sent by 

 J. Hers in 1919. The seeds were collected from the same tree as his specimen 



No. 1151. 



Aralia Planchojiiana Hance (in Jour. Bot. iv. 172, [1866] ) is a very rusty- 

 tomentose species and is entirely different from this. The specimen collected by 

 C. O. Levine near Canton (no. 1853) belongs to this species.
