subparallel, prominent, the apex prominently acuminate, the up- 
per surface smooth, glabrous, shining, pale-greenish to brownish- 
olivaceous, the lower white-glaucescent in contrast to the brown 
midrib, nerves, and reticulations; petioles about 1.5 cm long. 
Infructescences lateral, 4 cm long or less, sparingly pubescent, 
the rachis rugose, 1 to 1.5 cm long, the fruits racemosely dis- 
posed, their pedicels somewhat thickened, about 1 cm long. 
Fruits ellipsoid, somewhat rugose, about 1.5 cm long.

800 to 1,000 meters. 
I am by no means certain that this species belongs in the genus Neolitsea, 
a point that can definitely be determined only when flowers are available. 
It approaches Neolitsea in the verticillate arrangement of its leaves and 
in their being prominently 3-plinerved, but this character is found in other 
allied genera that are distinguished otherwise only by certain floral 
characters. The leaves are unusually large for Neolitsea, and the species 
may ultimately be found to belong in Lindera or in Actinodaphne.

RUBUS BUERGERI Miq. Ann. Mus. Bot. Lugd.-Bat. 3 (1867) 86; Focke

Kwangtung Province, Loh Fau Mountain (Lofaushan), Merrill s. n. 
August, 1917, on open grassy slopes about boulders, altitude about 900 
meters. 
This species is widely distributed in Japan, and is reported from Yunnan 
by Focke. The Loh Fau specimen agrees closely with the description, with 
Focke’s figure, and with authentically named Japanese material.

Kwangtung Province, Teng Woo Mountain, Levine & Groff H3, November 
18, 1916. 
The type of this species was a specimen from the Hongkong Herbarium 
collected on the West River, Kwangtung Province. It is not included by 
Dunn & Tutcher in their Flora of Kwangtung and Hongkong, and agrees 
with none of the species admitted by them.
