The present plant is in every respect very like RJiUS Toxicodendron 

 Lixx.. but differs from it in having densely bristled fruits. The species 

 appeal's to be referable to Trie ho car pea?, on account of its bristled 

 exocarpium. It is also to be referable to Veuenatio by the meso- 

 carpium and general characters of the fruit. The plant may better Ije placed 

 Ijetween the two sections. Bristled fruits are sometimes found in the Japa- 

 /*. Toxicodendron, though they are not s<> conspicuous as in the 

 Formosan species.
