(G) TENTAMEN FLOllyE LUTCHUENSIS. 273 



Leaves piniiate, glabrous ; leaflets 8 or 5, ovate or oblong- 

 ovate, often ovate-lanceolate, aciite or acurainate, rouncled 

 or retuse at tbe base, entire, tliin, green after desiccation. 



This is an intei-esting species, but unfortunately the 

 specimens are sterile and too imperfect for further deter- 

 mination. 



Tliere is also a juvenile specimen, of a species of Ciematis, 

 collected by Tashiro in July 18cS7 in Kuslii-majiri in Kunjan 

 in the island of Uchina, at present indeterminable, but the 

 leaves are somewhat allied to the above species, from which never- 

 theless it differs by the leaflets having turned dark-brown in 

 drying. The leaves in this specimen are 'j-foliolate, with the 

 leaflets lanceolate, acuminate, entire, and smooth.
