The present plant bears some resemblance to the 

 Japanese Ilex macropoda Miq., but. the leaves of the , Japanese 

 jDlant are more or less hairy, while those of the Formosan are 

 quite glabrous. Besides, the former has deciduous leaves, w^hile 

 the latter persistent, ones. This is also.: near /. macrocarpa Oliv.; 

 but differs fi'om it in having much smallei' fruit ; from I. taiwaniana 

 Hayata, in having^ much thinner' leaves and much larger flowers.

This is very like Ilex crenata Thünb., but diCers from it in 

 having impressed veins on the surface of the leaves, which are 

 quite obtusely crenate on the margin. In /. crenata, the leaves 

 are shortly aristate at the apex of. the teeth on the margin^
