The present species differs from other species of this geuns in lutviug 

 reniformed leaves. The leaves are somewhat like C. asarifoH" LINN., in 

 which species they ai~e never cordate or renifortr.ed. The plant is also near 

 C. vidctfolia O. S. SC'HUTZ. fi-om which is sepai-.ible in having rather aiignlate 

 leaves and very much smaller flowers. Flowers of my plant a:e 3 mm. long, 

 while those of the Chinese C. vidcefdia are 8 mm. long, or even moie. 

 T] ''o. T.ixx. are also innch^larger.

 to the Formosan plant.
