 It is interesting to find this growing on a so detached volcanic is- 

 land Ooryongto off the eastern coast of Corean peninsula. This is 

 only species of Rhamnacese found there. I myself botanised there -with 

 Mr. E. H. Wilson in May and June of this year. There this plant 

 grows from coast up the mountain about 600 meters high. Formerly 

 there were big trees and by what the inhabitants told us, they used 

 its freshy peduncles for medicine. But now there is no flowering plants.
