All interesting addition to our knowledge of the relationslii]i of the Phili[>pine 
Horn to that of the Asiatic continent. The above specimen agrees very closely 
with material of this species supplied me by the director of the Botanic Garden, 
llongkong, with Formosan specimens received from the Inpierial University, Tokyo, 
and with sterile specinums in Herb. Bureau of Science from a cultivated plant 
in the Botanical Garden at Biiitenzorg, Java. The Philippine plant is, however, 
a scandeiit shrub, while in all tlie references to Aeaul liopanax aculcat n m. Seem., 
and synonyms of tliat species which (I have been able to consult, the species is 
described as a shrub or small ti'ee. Flowever, T can not, from the descriptions 
and material available, tind any other characters by which the l^hilippine plant 
can be distinguished, and have accordingly referred it to the above species, which 
extends from Japan and Formosa to China and Eastern fndia.
