The present plant tears some resemblance t<> the Japanese Iltx in" 

 potl't Ml<>. ; but the 1- f the Japanese plant are more or less 



hairy, while those of the Formosan are quite glabrous. Ik-sides, the former 

 has deciduous leaves, while the latter persistent ones. Also near /. ntacro- 

 carpa OLIVE, but differs from it in having much smaller fruits : from /. 

 taiwani.aha HAYATA in having much thinner leaves and much larger 

 flow

This is very like Ilex crfnafa THUND.. ljut diffei-s fi-om it in having im- 

 pressed veins on the surface of the leaves, which are quite obtusely creiiate 

 on the margin. In L crcnata, the leaves are shortly aristats at the apex of 

 the tee^ 1 margin. Moreover, the lowersui face of the leaves of the 



- minutely dotted, while that of the present plant is quite 

 '.in never dotted. It also tears some resemblances to /. Inzoniai IIOLFE, 

 t also to /. TJtOuw'jiii : but differs from the former in having olxjvate or 

 oblongo-ovate leaves wliich are cren:ite towards the apex, and from the latter 

 in liaviug caUoso -obtusely (but not mucronat^ly creiiate leaves. Those of 

 7. luzonici KOLFE are usually oblong, more acutely or mucronately creiiate 

 from the base to the apex, while theso are usually obovate, very obtusely 

 erenate only towards the apex.
