Q. Visrayeana Franch. & Sav. (Enum. Pl. Jap. ii. 498).—-There 
are, both at the British Museum and at Kew, two unnamed 
specimens brought by Fortune, in 1854, from the Chekiang Hills, 
_ which I found to be identical with a see specimen in my 
herbarium, collected by M. ee in 1863, at Naga- Rigg. 
and ite ted by him under the label * Q. glauca? Thhg., var. ?” 
_ In reply to my inquiry, M. aicisores informs me that since his 
4 distribution he has found that his specimen matches exactly 
- Blume’s type at Leyden, of Q. myrsinayol, but that it matches 
equally well with Franchet and Savatier’s Q. Vibrayeana. e 
_ former species has fruit in axillary tires two or three together, 
- and the latter has them in spikes; but, in the absence = any fruit 
at all on his own specimens, M. Maximowicz had been unable to 
_ decide the question, It happens that Fortune’s and my y upecipieds 
have good fruit, and their characters agree so well with Franchet 
_ and Savatier’s diagnosis that I have no hesitation in referring the 
_ Chekiang tree to this species, which is now first recorded from China.

_ Dicronocephalus feeds”; and Prof. Oliver was good enough to draw my 
_ attention to a note by Fortune in the ‘ Gardeners’ Chronicle,’ * where
