Specimens from Nanto connect this and the following variety. 
34 Var. rhynchophylla, Hemsl.; foliolis sepius 5, Jatioribus cre- 
nato-dentatis caudato-acuminatis, calyce breviore.

Mandshuria. 
It is open to question whether the above is the best way of 
dealing with the forms here referred to one species. F. mandshu- 
rica, Rupr., is connected by intermediate forms with F. rhyncho- 
phylla, Hance ; and several of the Indian species are evidently 
closely allied to the Chinese; so that it is difficult to limit the 
species without studying all the Asiatic forms, or indeed without 
studying the whole genus.
