Has. Formosa (cult. in horto Koishikawensi). 
Differs from the type only in having much mnarrower leaves. It was 
brought back with an example of the type by Mr. T. Uonurvaua from Formosa, 
and has been cultivated for nearly fifteen. years. — Examples of the type 
and the present variety are planted on a western slope of the Koishikawa 
sarden. It is suggested to me by Mr. T. Nakar that this may be a new variety 
of E. Oldlami Maxrw.
