e bracts of hid species are ovate and somewhat acuminate in 
calyces. In one instance, however, the bracts are persistent, and have 
taken on the appearance of foliage leaves, as occurs in S. Wallichit. 
For this reason I have refrained from citing the difference in bractea- 
tion among the other characters which separate the Formosan from the 
Indian plant.
