Tn i-csjiect of tlie leaves, this new siiecies is A'ery ncar Safjeretla hamosa 

 Broxgx. It is very likely tliat tlie new sj^ecics is tlie same as tlie jilant wliicli 

 is recorded from Formosa as Sageretia hamosa Broxgk. (Hemsl. lud. Fl. Sin. I. 

 ]). 131). I have uevcr seen the type of the latter species. Tlie only desc- 

 ription which is accessible to me is one giveu iu Hook. f. Fh Brit. Ind. I. p. 

 641. It is, however, something like gambling to idcntify the plant iu qucstion 

 with a siiecies by means of so short a description as that (juoted bellow. 

 " Lcaves 4-5 l)y 2in. elliptic-oblong shortly acuminate serrate ghvbrous on both 

 Kurfaces. A large shrub, with long straggling glabrous branches, imarmed or 

 with very stout short deflexed spines. Flowors i^uberulous, in tcrminal and 

 axillary panicles not longer than the leaves." The bracts of onr jilant are 

 pubcrulous, but the tlowers are ue\'er liairy.
