11-3 poll. longis et 3-6 lineas latis, nunc usque ad 6 poll. longis 
et 1 poll. latis, subtus glaucis cinereis vel rufescentibus, floribus

Hvprru: Ichang and immediate neighbourhood, and Nanto and 
mountains to the northward (4. Henry, 1193, 1293, 1353, 2759,

The extreme states of this Chinese variety are very different 
from the ordinary Japanese C. pedunculatum, but there are con- 
necting links in both countries.

The Chinese specimens we have doubtingly referred to this 
species may represent more than one species, as they are mostly 
only barren branches, and present slight differences. Dr. A. 
Henry says of his 713 and 5497 that they yield a kind of Cassia 
Bark of inferior quality, used locally as medicine and for adulte- 
rating the true Cassia Bark from South China. 
Dr. Henry's 7669 from Changyang, Hupeh, is perhaps an 
undescribed species.

[Cinnamomum zeylanicum, Breyne, a. commune, Nees, is re-

confidently refer to this species. ]
