MATERIALS ’.FOR: A FLORA OF ‘FORMOSA. 55 
ent. from the Formosan. plant. As is described by Maxitmowicz in 
his Coriar.’ [li¢.. Monoch. p. 33, J. Hanceana, has ‘“ cymule 2 
breve pedunculate, 5-6-flore, ~petiolum bis vel ter superantes, 
pedicelli calyce zequilongi,. flores 4-meri circ. linam longi. Calyx 
puberulus, lobis ciliatis ovatis.”. But, in the, Loo-chooan plant, 
we find ‘ flores umbellati, umbellis cymose 5-6-fasciculatis, pedun- 
culis umbellarum 5-6 mm. longis petiolum squantibus, pedicellis 
florium circ. 3 mm. longis florem 2-plo superantibas.”* In comparing 
the above descriptions, we see clearly that the Loo-chooan plant is 
not identical with Maxrmowicz’s. species. As to the identification 
of the Loo-choo plant with the present one, 1 am not as yet in a 
position to decide it. I can only add that they are very similar.
