Note: So far as are concerned the Formosan species of the iifoea-group, 

 Tetradenia is very well defined from Litsea and Actinodaphne, in having 

 trinerved leaves and dimeroas flowers ; but the latter two are not veiy clearly 

 seiiarated each other, the numltcr of stamens being variable from 9 to 12 or 

 even more.
