DisTRiB. The only congeners we have at present are F. japonica 

 Done, et Pl. and F. papyrifera Benth. et Hook. f. The former 

 occurs in Japan, and the latter, in Formosa. 



The present species is a very interesting addition to the 

 Formosan flora. The plant is by far the most remarkable species 

 in having 10-celled ovaries in which respect it appears to be 

 referable to Trevesia Vis. All other characters of the plant, 

 however, quite agree with Fatsia Done, et' Pl. I tliink, therefore, 

 it will be better to refer the new plant to this genus, and at the 

 same time to extend the limit of the generic character.
