(A. Henry, 3519!). Herb. Kew. 
This approaches L. auriculata, Hemsl., but that is a much 
more branched plant with exceedingly long slender pointed 
leaves standing at right angles to the stem and glaucous beneath. 
It also has very narrow bracts and relatively narrower calyx-lobes.

The Kwangtung specimen differs in the stem being leafy, 
instead of only sealy, below the summit; and all that we have 
seen of this highly remarkable plant are of the broad-leaved 
variety (elliptica, Frauchet). In habit it closely approaches the 
broad-leaved variety of Trientalis, and structurally there is very 
little to separate the genera, which Klatt unites under Lysi- 
machia.

“ Caulis erectus, gracilis ; ramis elongatis flexuosus sub angulo 
recto patentibus flagelliformibus. Folia parvula (10-15 mill. 
longa), ovata vel ovato-lanceolata, integerrima, punctata, in pe- 
tiolum brevem attenuata. Flores bracteola brevi subulata suffulti, 
inferiores cum ramulis alternantes, superiores racemosi, haud 
terminales sed axem foliatum superantes; pedunculi presertim 
inferiores elongati (usque 25 mill.)  bracteolis 2-4plo longiores; 
Sepala anguste lanceolata, acuta, corolla alba quarta parte 
breviora; stamina corollam vix æquantia ; stylus brevissime ex- 
sertus. Herba glaberrima.” 
Curxtane: Ningpo (Savatier ex Franchet). 
“ Espèce remarquable par ses petites feuilles presque toutes 
ovales, et surtout par son inflorescence dont les fleurs inférieures 
alternent avec des rameaux feuillés. Elle doit étre placée dans le 
voisinage du L. prolifera, Klatt, dont elle se distingue bien du 
reste par ses feuilles brièvement pétiolées, par ses fleurs une 
fois plus grandes, par son inflorescence et son état complètement 
glabre."— Franchet.
