urceolato-globosi, lobis persistentibus late triangularibus, pyrenes 
subincludentes. Pyrenes 5, apice nude, rotundato-quadrantiformes

The present plant is very distinct from any other species of the 
genus, in having obovate or even spathulate leaves which are 
emarginate at the apex. From C. formosana, this differs in the in- 
florescence on the shortened branchlets standing nearly alternately 
on a lateral branch. 
Cotoneaster taitensis Hayara sp. noy. Frutex. Rami valde 
cinereo-fuscentes, cortice subnitido longitudinaliter rugoso obtecti, 
ramulis divaricatis breve pauceque pubescentibus spinosis, spinis 
simplicibus 1 cm. longis. Folia ad ramulos brevissimos laterales 
approximatim alternatimque disposita, vel ad apicem ramulorum 
brevissimorum 3-4-fasciculata, obovato-spathulata, vel spathulata, 
34 cm. longa 1cm. lata, apice truncato-emarginata, brevissime 
apiculata, margine integerrima, tenuiter pubescentia, demum 
glabrata, basi cuneato-angustata, coriacea, supra subnitida, subtus 
pallidiora, exsiccato rubescentia, petiolis 3 mm. longis. Fructus 
paniculati, paniculis ad apicem 1amulorum brevissimorum termi- 
nalibus. Drupze globose 4cm.in diametro 5-pyrense, pyrenibus 
quadrantiformibus osseis, 34 mm. longis, apiculatis. 
Has. Taito, leg, K. Miyake, 1899, Dec. 
This species is very like C. jormosana, but differs from it in 
the inflorescence.
