Thouars,* and it was found that these two plants agreed in most of 
their anatomical characters. The chief points in which the latter 
species differs from “ Kokoti” are: sclerenchyma on the upper side 
cells of both upper and lower epidermics of the leaf, instead of only 
in the lower epidermics, as in “ ti.” 
From the anatomical agreement it is evident that the affinity of 
“Kokoti” is with Macarisia and the Legnotideae. The close 
affinity between “Kokoti” and Anopyzis Klaineana is supported 
by their anatomical structure, which shows only trivial differences.
