70 THE LYCHEE AND LUNGAN 



The closely related genus Euphoria has already proved pro- 

 mising recent reports from the Hawaiian Islands indicating success 

 in grafting the lychee on the lungan, EupJwriQ lotiyana Lam. (fig. 

 59). The allied Philippine form, Euphoria cintrca Radlk. (fig. 3) 

 should also be tried and the other nine members of the genus 

 Euphoria should not be neglected. All these facts indicate the pos- 

 sibilities of opening up a most interesting study with regard to new 

 methods in the propagation of the lychee which may prove valuable 

 to both China and to other countries.
