Allied to Coriaria sinica MAXIM., C. nepalensis WALL., C. japonica and 

 C. intermedia MATSUM. The new species differs from the first two in having 

 the leaves which are acute or obtuse but never rounded at the base, and in 

 the male flowers which are nearly entirely wanting of rudimentary ovaries ; 

 from C. japonica, by the recurved stigmas and the presence of staminodes or 

 stamens in the female flowers ; and from the last, by much acuter sepals and 

 larger stamens. Coriaria intermedia is found generally at the lower mountains, 

 while the new plant exists only on the top of the mountains nearly 8000 ft. 

 high above sea-level.
