circa 15 em. longis; floribus ut apud 7’. hirtam; ovario glabro; 
capsula circa 2 cm. longa 4 mm. diametro. — Japan: Nanokawa, 
Tosa, Oct. 9, 1889, K. Watanabe (rypr, Gray Herb.). 
This plant was distributed as 7. hirta (Thunb.) Hook. and other 
collections have probably been taken for that species which is its 
nearest relative and to which it bears superficial resemblance. 
The very caudate-acuminate leaves, the nodding strictly solitary 
axillary flowers and the long narrow glabrous pods are the chief 
distinguishing features of 7’. clinata. Since Baker’s revision of this 
genus appeared in Journ. Linn. Soc. xvii. 463-5 (1879) several 
species of the Orient have been proposed as new. It is noteworthy 
that two of these, 7’. macrantha Maxim. and T.. affinis Makino (and 
its var. albida Makino) have come from Tosa, the type locality of 
T. clinata.

Durand and Schinz, Consp. Fl. Afr. v. 416 (1895) would main- 
tain this plant as a distinct species. But it is connected directly 
with the typical form of 0. viride by the var. grandiflorum Baker 
ex Durand & Schinz, 1.¢. Accordingly I think Baker’s treatment 
of it as a variety is the correct one; but the proper specific name 
is not glawcum but viride, necessitating the above new varietal és “ 
combination.

Trelease, Rep. Mo. Bot. Gard. xiii. 41 (1902). 
Ever since I first saw this species, the so-called Joshua tree, in its 
native habitat I have felt averse to calling it a Yucca. Some specl 
mens sent by Mrs. Spencer have been the means of calling to MY 
attention the fact that Dr. Trelease, 1]. c., has shown that good 
technical characters as well as aspect distinguish this curious plant 
from the true Yuccas. He failed, however, to take up the first 
specific name so I am making this necessary transfer.
