Diflers from the Jajianese si>ecimens by the much naiTower leaves and in 

 the simple umbelled inflorescence, or if compouud, the primary radias being 

 very much shorter than the secondaiy ones.

Veiy near Ardisia Sieholdii. The distinction between the two, species A. 

 /ormosana and A. Sieboldii given by Mez is as follows. 



" Sepala trianguhiria ad ^counata; antheras fere sessiles A. formosana 



Sepala ovata, libera ; anthera^ manifeste stipitataj A. Sieboldii." 



I have examined my very rich collections of A. Sieboldii and its allies from 

 Formosa, but have never found any flower with sessile anthers. It is veiy 

 probable that A. Jormosana was described from young flowers of A. Sieholdii.
