The present plant is very near D. scabra THTNB. and D.pvlclira TIDAL ; 

 but differs from the former in having dentate stamens and in the number 

 of styles which is usually 5 ; from the latter, in having quite obtuse leaves. 

 In VIDAL'S plant, the leaves are usually more acuminate, and very acute at 

 the apex. Deutzia crenata SEEB. et Zrcc. o. Taiieanensift' MAXIM, written in 

 " MAXIM. Hydrang. Asia. Orient, p. 23 " may possibly be identical with this 

 plant, though I have found many different points between the description of 

 MAXIMOWICZ and that of the present one ; for the Deutzia, credited in 

 Formosa by MAXIMOWICZ, as is considered from the locality given by him, 

 may not be otherwise than the present one, as this is the only plant to be 

 found in the lowland of Fonnosa. The plant written in the paper above 

 cited is not near D. r/v ,,,//,/ SEEB. et Zrcc , nor is it referable to a variety of 

 that species ; but must be a quite different one, so far as the diagnosis is con- 

 cerned. As far as I can judge from the description of the variety o. T'i'ncanensis,
