 DiSTEiB. An endemic plant. 



The present plant is quite referable to Hance's y&v. formosanwn. The 

 variety, however, has not any stipule, while V. erosum has a distinct stipul, 

 as is mentioned by Maximowicz " Mel. Biol. X. p. 666." As the Formosan 

 plant differs from the latter species in many other points, it is quite proper 

 to regard it as q, plant specifically' distinct from V. erosum Thunb.
