Heary : A list of (Plants from For7nosa. (Tran- 

 sactions of the Asiatic Society of Japan), 

 Hemsley and Forbes : An enumeration of all the 

 plants known from China. (The Jour- 

 nal of the Linnean Society). 

 Matsumura and Hayata : Enumeratio (Platarw^n 

 Formosanarum. (The Journal of the 

 College of Science). 

 Hayata : Flora montana Formosae. (The Jour- 

 nal of the College of Science). 

 Scientific names are here given according to Dr. 

 Hayata's determination ; but as to the Japanese names, 

 though some are fixed jointly with him, the responsibility Is 

 in a greater part my own. It may happen that I have 

 sometimes newly named plants, not knowing the existence 

 of the names already given by my predecessors ; these 

 points will be corrected hereafter. 



I have endeavoured to mention the Formosan names 

 as much as possible ; but as there exist no authentic 

 characters to be used for them, there are many cases where 

 the pronunciation of characters has been my only guide. 

 I have adopted the names used by Mr. Henry, and many 

 of those given in the " F or:::osan Vocabulary of 'F I ants " 

 by Mr. Shimada.
