Probably a hybrid between Callicarpa japonica Thunb. and 

 C. mollis Sieb. et Zucc, and the plant in the Botanic Garden of 

 the University of Tokyo, is the only living specimen hitherto 

 known. It differs from C. japonica Thunb., which has the 

 thinner and glabrescent leaves and shallowly lobed calyx ; and 

 from C. mollis Sieb. et Zucc, which bears the more densely 

 hairy leaves, more deeply lobed and more hairy calyx, larger 

 flower, and fewer-flowered cyme.
