chooan plaut, we find " flores umbellati, umbellis cymose 5-6-fasciculatis, 

 pedunculis umbellarum 5-6 mm. longis, petiolurn soquantibus, pedicellis florium 

 circ. 3 mm. longis florem 2-plo superaiitibus."* In comparing the above 

 descriptions, we see clearly that the Loo-chooan plant is not identical with 

 MAXIMOWICZ'S species. As to the identification of the Loo-choo plant with 

 the present one, I am not as yet in a position to decide it. I can only add 

 that they are very similar.

 Leaves petiolate, alternate, chartaceous-membranaceous, oblong or oblongly 

 ovate, or obovate, slightly oblique, 5 cm. long, 3 cm. broad, obtuse at the apex, 

 or shortly acuminate, or slightly cuspidate, or obtusely acute, shortly aristate
