For information wo quote an extract taken from Oardminf/ Worlds November 0th, 1001, p. Infl: — 
“The tiny C. indteum was first described in his ‘Species IMantarum * by Linmeus, and Sabine 
described it in 1821 . The ‘ Index Kewensis * states it as being a native of ( 'hina and Japan, and the 
species, in some form or other, may hz native to the more temperate paits of Kastern Asia. 
Seeds of the real wilding were gathered by Mr. Grant Birch, in Yangtze, China, during the year 
1809. For the sake of comparison with the modern giants it is certainly interesting, as it 
demonstrates in no unmistakable maimer the vast changes that have been effected in the wild 
original, first by the Chinese and Japanese, then by other workers in the Old and Now World, and 
at the Antipodes.”
