Notes
Zanthoxylum Leprieurii I have failed to identify amongst our collections. It was described from incomplete specimens with pistillate flowers only, so that possibly Z. rubescens, to which it is evidently nearly allied, may prove to be the same, though differing apparently in the symmetry of the flowers.
