This verj rare aud Iiandsome tree was for tlie fii-st tinie in June last year 

 coUected by Mr. S. Sasaki and myself, in my last JDnrney to tbe island. It 

 ■was found on a crag by tbe mountaiu pass from Ivusukiisu to Botansba, 

 "wbicli was quite an unbeaten tiack for any one except for savages. Tbe 

 flowers bave a so close resembrance in its external feature to tbose of 

 Eumymus tbat I 'was led to raistake tbe plant for one of tbe Celastras- 

 family. It was fii-st recorded from tbe island by Dr. A. Hexry. So far as 

 I can jiidge from tbe description giren iu Benth. F1. Hongk. p. 25, tbe
