Rhirasawa, a recent Japanese authority (Iconographie dcs Es.senccs 

 Forestieres du Japon, vol. i. p. 93), states that A. cordafa is cultivated 

 in Japanj and, as he gives no localities for it in a wild condition, it 

 may be assumed that he regarded it as an introduced tree there. 



Dryayidra cordata^ Thunb., is erroneously referred to Aleurites 



triloha in the * Index Kewensis/ as likewise is A. trisj^ei-may Blanco.
