This is a common shrub in the neighborhood of Kuling but rare farther west. 

 In the warmer parts of Japan it forms a small tree and is very abundant. 



Here may be added notes on two species not collected during the Arnold 

 Arboretum Expeditions.

This critical species is perhaps only an extreme form of E. japonica Thunberg, 

 yet it is easily recognized by its smaller leaves of thin texture. The pubescence on 

 the shoots varies considerably in degree and in the specimen from western Szech'uan 

 the shoots are puberulous only. But whatever its relationship to E. japonica may be 

 it is most certainly distinct from another Japanese species with which it was united 

 by Blume (Mus. Bot. Lugd.-Bat. II. 108 [1862]) and whose conclusions have been 

 accepted by all botanists who have since dealt with this plant. The Japanese 

 species E. emarginata Makino (in Tokyo Bot. Mag. XVIII. 19 [1904]), which was 

 named Hex emarginata by Thunberg (Fl. Jap. 78 [1784]), is a littoral shrub with 

 thick, coriaceous, obovate-cuneate, emarginate leaves and relatively thick shoots 

 which are densely clothed with a short rufous-brown, villous tomentum. It is very 

 common on and near the seashore in southern Japan and especially on the island 

 of Yakushima. We have also seen specimens from Quelpaert {U. Faurie, No. 

 493, and Taquet, Nos. 2691, 2690) off the southern end of Korea, but none from 

 Formosa or China; and probably it does not grow there. 



Eurya acuminata De Candolle, in Mem. Soc. Phys. Geneve, I. 418 (Mem. Fam. 

 Ternstr. 26) (1822); Prodr. I. 525 (1824). — WalUch, Cat. No. 1464 (1828).— 

 Blume, Mus. Bot. Lugd.-Bat. II. 117 (1854).
