Oxzs.—When describing this species under Sophora, Makino 
placed this in subgenus Platyosprion, which is not correct. 
The species is very closely related to the preceding, from which 
it is, when sterile, not easily distinguished. The flower has not 
yet been collected, but it is almost sure that its colour is purplish.
