A'ery closely allied to, if not identical with, the Jai^anese species Frunus 

 Yamasahura (a wild mouutain-cherry). I do not think om" plant is ever 

 distinct sjTecificialiy from the nametl species. The only difiereuce between them 

 is that the stipules of our plant aro mucli nanowcr and senatiou of the leaves 

 is a little looser, than those and that of thc Jajianese. It may constitutc a 

 subspecies or a variety of the latter. I am quite unwilling to treat om- i^lant 

 as a species distinct from the Japanese cherrj-; yet, the latter is so veiy con- 

 fusing as to its projier name that it is at present as equally subject to altera- 

 tion to place the Formosan plant imder one name as mider othere.
