Common in the northern provinces; Europe, Mongolia, Sachalin and 

 Japan. 



My Morrison specimen is entirely indentified with the Japanese Dian- 

 thus, that is D. superbus Linn. This is an example that F< rmosa although 

 she enjoys a tropical climate, has rather shared the elements of the flora 

 of the cold regions.

As far as I can identify by " MiQ. FL Ind. Bat. II. p. 1054.", our 

 Morrison species is possibly equal to the Javan species ; but quite different 

 from the Indian plant, Gaultheria nummularioides Don (Clarke in

 592) as far as I can judge from its descriptions. 



It is noticeable that Formosa has a species which is peculiar to the 

 alpine flora of Java (and Himalaya after Clarke). This fact, slight though 

 it is, will stand in favour of the affirmation that the Javan flora has the 

 elements of comparatively northern* flora.

This variety is remarkable on account of the impressed veins. This
