Allied to Coriaria sinica Maxim., C nepaleixsis Wall., C. Japonica and 

 C. intermedia Matsujl The new species differs from the first two in liaving 

 the leaves which are acute or obtuse but never rounded at tlie base, and in 

 the male flowers wliicb are nearly entirely wanting of rudimentary ovaries ; 

 from C. japonica by the recurved stigraas and the presence of staniinodes or 

 stamens in the female flowers ; and from the last, by mucli acuter sepals and 

 larger stamens. Coriaria intermedia is found generally at tlie lowcr mountains, 

 whUe the new plant exists only on the top of the mountaius nearly 8000 ft. 

 high above sea-level.
