The specimens, which I possess, of this species were collected in the neighbourhood of the city of 

 Nagasacki. These specimens, together with several hundred other Japanese plants, were taken in a Dutch prize 

 during the last war. The name of the naturalist who collected them, I have never been able to ascertain- Of 

 the wood of this tree, according to Thunberg, the Japanese form boxes and desks.
