,Hab. Loo Choo In our plant the leaves are smaller and much more approximate than in Thunberg’s 
plate ; in size and shape they exactly resemble the uppermost of that figure. The specimen is in fruit. The 
style is persistent, short, and trifid at the apex.

portion of the flower (quinary in Vitis), and the distinct style ; the inflorescence is considerably different.
