NEW OR Lrn^LE KNOWN PLANTS OF JAPAN. (3^7) 



Other, which I shall distinguish as C ecJiinaia, lias broadly ovate leaves, much 

 smaller flowers, and globose fruit enclosed in the leathery calyx which is 

 prickly and does not project beyond the berry. These two forms are very 

 distinct, and may be regarded as different species. The former corresponds 

 to the plant Franchet and Savatier obtained from Nikko. These authors say: 

 ** La plante de Niko appartient a la forme glabrescente et ses feuilles sont en 

 meme temps plus etroites, ses pedoncules solitaires." The latter, which is 

 more common, corresponds to the plants these authors obtained from Japanese 



botanists. They say: **Les formes regues des botanistes japonais sont 



beaucoup plus robustes, un peu velues; les feuilles sont plus larges, obtuses; 

 les pedoncules reunis au nombre de 2-5; le calice est couvert de polls crustaces, 



crepus; " 



The present species chiefly differs from Chavicesaracha? heteropkylla^ 

 Hemsl. (Journ. Linn. Soc., vol. xxvl., p. 174.) in the calyx not being scurfy 

 and in fruit not entirely enclosing tke berry, and in the seeds not being pale. 

 It also differs from C. sinensis^ Hemsl. (loc. cit.) in the leaves not having very 

 long petioles, the calyx not entirely enclosing the berry, and the seeds not 

 being pale and obscurely reticulate.
