H ab. L oo Choo— In our plant the leaves are smaller and much more approximate than in Thunberg’s
])late ; 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.

H ab. Loo Choo.— Called by the natives Gee-Keetza. Most botanists consider that Japan is the native

fo liu s more than any of these, and is probably that species.

Hab. Loo Choo I f the genus Cissus is to be retained, its characters must rest on the quaternary proportion
