Formosa: Botel Tobago, S. Sasaki. 



This is a tree with ascending or upright branches though it becomes 

 low and shrubby on wind-swept rocks. Unlike Raphiolepis umbellata it 

 is not hardy in Tokyo and is easily distinguished from it by the mode of 

 branching and by its leaves. The wood is hard and durable. The dis- 

 covery of this species in Botel Tobago is interesting.
