ocreata of A. De CandoUe. S. gracillima (p. 26) is described as a monoecious plant 

 and is probably not a Sniilax. 



Hayata in Jour. Coll. Sci. Tokio, XXX. 1^71, Mat. Fl. Formosa (1911) pub- 

 lishes several new species, but until more Formosan material is available for study 

 little can be said as to the value of these names.
