1. Zanthoxylon piperitum ; aculeis stipularibus parvis rectis, foliis impari-pinnatis, 

 foliolis 7-11 obovato-oblongis obtusis crenulatis margine subrevelutis basi cuneatis 

 ina?qualibus, petiolo anguste marginato, pedunculis axillaribus brevibus ramosis pauci- 

 floris, ovariis duobus. — Z. piperitum. De Cand. Prod. 1. p. 725? — Fagara piperita. 

 Linn. Sp. p. 127 ? Thunb. Fl. Jap. p. 64 ? 



Hab. Bonin. — In our plant the leaflets do not exceed three and a half, or at most four lines in length, 

 while many are only about two and a half ; and it is principally from their small size that we have doubts 

 about the synonyms adduced. 



Ord. XV. CELASTRINEiE. Brown. 



1. Evonymus Japonicus ; ramis erectis, foliis ovalibus basi cuneatis coriaceis obtusis 

 obtuse serratis, pedunculis compressis 2-3-chotomis folia subsequantibus, floribus 4-fidis, 

 petalis rotundato-obovatis margine glabris stamina paullo superantibus, " capsula sub- 

 globosa 3-4-sulcata." (Thunb.) — E. Japonicus. Thunb. Fl. Jap. p. 100. De Cand. Prod. 

 2. p. 4. (Tab. LIV.) 



Hab. Bonin. — From this, E. Japonicus of Dr. Wallich, and of Mr. G. Don, in Mill. Diet. 2. p. 5, is 

 quite distinct. Thunberg's description is, on the whole, so accurate, that it is unnecessary here to give a new 

 one. The leaves vary a little in shape, being sometimes oblong, sometimes obovate. The petals are rather 

 longer than broad.

Ord. XVI. ILICINE^. Brongn. 



1. Prinos Integra; foliis coriaceis venosis sempervirentibus integerrimis obovato- 

 oblongis obtusiusculis, pedicellis femineis aggregatis, fructu quadripyreno. — Ilex integra. 

 Thunb. Fl. Jap. p. 77? — I. asiatica. Linn. Sp. p. 710 ? 



Hab. Bonin. — We refer this to Prinos rather than to Ilex, principally from the inflorescenoe. The 

 leaves of the specimen before us are from three to four inches long ; whereas Thunberg says of his plant that 

 they are only an inch ; the petioles of the Bonin plant are three-fourths of an inch long, of Thunberg's " vix 

 unguiculares."
