HAB. Hainan, leg. N. KONISHI, 1909. 



Differs from E, japonica by the shortly stalked carpels and by the 

 crenulate leaves. It is named after the lamented N. KONISHI, in commemora-

 a fatal fever. After coming back to Taihoku, he died much to the sorrow 

 of the present writer and to a great loss to the batanical world.
