Nom. Jap. Sarumame. 



Miquel described this species out of very imperfect materials; 

 A. De Candolle in his monography of smilaceae placed it among 

 the doubtful species. As my Chinese specimen seems to be 

 identical with that which the Japanese botanists take for 

 Miquel's plant, I name it accordingly as above, and briefly 

 describe it : 



Fruticose, suberect, perfectly smooth, branching, stem terete, 

 sparingly armed with prickles; leaves alternate, shortly petio- 

 late (petiole 5 mm. long), 2— cirrhiferous (cirrhus attaining 4 

 or 5 cm. when fully developed, withering in old leaves), lamina 

 ovate-oblong, apiculate, rounded at base, trinerved, furnished 

 with an additional faint nerve on each side running near the 

 margin, nervules finely reticulate; Bowers dark brown, umbelled, 

 peduncles 10-15 mm.; male fl. many, pedicels gracile, bracteoles 

 subulate, minute, perianth-segments oblong, lanceolate, sub- 

 acuminate, about 3mm. long; stamens 6, anthers white; female 



fl ; fruiting peduncle about 15 mm. long, pedicels 8 mm. 



long, fruit (immat) globose, about 3 mm. in diam.
