Near Daph'/tc tanyutlca MAXIM., but differs from it by the smaller flowers. 

 I remember liaving seen two forms of this new species in Mt. Arisan, one 

 with white flowers and yellow berries and the other with yellow flowers and 

 red berries. The distinction is not, however, conceivable in dried specimens. 

 The forms are, I think, variable from one to the other.
