Japan. 
Dr. A. Henry’s 3547 from Ichang may be a narrow-leaved 
variety of this; but it is in too young a state to say what the 
corolla might develop to.

Mr. Bentham suggests (Fl. Hongk. p. 204) that his first three 
species might be varieties of one; and with additional specimens 
we are unable to retain them. Whether they are varieties of the 
variable M. indica, Wall, cannot be determined without dis- 
secting the flowers of a large number of specimens.

SZECHUEN : Mount Omei (Faber, 665 !). Herb. Kew. 
This appears different from the Indian species; but the one 
fragmentary specimen is insufficient for description.
