MATERIALS FOR A FLORA OF FORMOSA. 37 
Stellaria stellato-pilosa Hayara FI. Mont. Formos. p. 58, t. II. 
This is very near Stéellaria nutans Hest. in Journ. Linn. Soc. 
XXXIV, p. 484, (Tibet Oriental; Tatsin-Lou); but differs from it 
by its larger and broader leaves and also in haying rough velvety 
hairs all over the plant. It is also near S. dichasioides WitLIAMs 
in the same volume of the same Journal, p. 436, from which it 
differs in having more hairy leaves. Besides, it comes very near 
S. saxatilis Ham. from which it is hardly distinguishable. All the 
plants above mentioned are very similar in every respect, and 
further study will prove that they are one and the same species, 
though some of them should be regarded as representing a 
variety of another.
