DISTRIB. An endemic plant. 



The present plant is quite referable to HAXCE'S van formosairmn. The 

 \ariety, however, has not any stipule, while V. crw.m lias a distinct stipul, 

 as is mentioned by MAXDIOWIC/ " Mel. Biol. X. p. 666." As the Formosan 

 plant differs from the latter species in many other points, it is quite proper 

 to regard it as a plant -pacifically distinct from T. i-rnsum THUMJ.
