The present phxut was identi- 

 fied by myself with the Himalayan 

 P. ittilis only by the external comjiarison of the branches. In examiuing 

 the tree in the mountaius in Formosa, I became very mucli sceptical of tlie 

 identification. It is a shrub of scandent habit like Celastrus articulatus, 

 trailing and climbing i\\\ to the top) of other tall trees, and sending its 

 branches downwards. This liabit is, it seems to me, totally diflferent from 

 that of the Hiraalayan jilaut and also from the Chineuse P. sinensis Oliver.
