There is nothing like this at Kew. It is easily distinguishable by the 

 minutely and very shapely toothed leaves. 



Pyrus aucuparia var. trilocularis HAYATA. Materials for a Flora of 

 Formosa p. 99. Fruits nearly globose, nearly 1 cm. in diameter, 3-celled, 

 cells 1- 2-seeded, or reduced to 1 -seeded. Seeds compressingly oblong, 3 mm. 

 long, reddish, otherwise the same as the type.

Very like the tipe, but differs in having 3-celled fruits.

Very like P. sin-nsis from which this is distinguishable by the leaves 

 which are acute at both ends. Also near P. Praitii HE.MSL. and P.
