Shingkinq : south of Hingjing (Boss !) ; Kiangsi : Kiukiang 

 (Shearer ! Maries !). Herb. Kew. 



Japan. 



The Shingking specimen is very young and imperfect, and 

 doubtfully referred here. 



Var. hirsuta, Hemsl., pedicellis calycibusque dense sericeo- 

 pubescentibus. 



Hupeh : Ichang (A. Henrg !). Herb. Kew. 



Strikingly as this deviates in the feature indicated, it does not 

 differ otherwise from the Kiukiang specimens. 



Var. rotimdifolia, Hemsl., foliis fere orbicularibus supra 

 medium crenulatis. 



Htjpeh : Ichang (A. Henri/ !). Herb. Kew. 



A remarkably distinct form, which, in the absence of the inter- 

 mediate variety hirsuta, of which it has the hairy pedicels and 

 calyces, we should certainly have described as an independent 

 species. 



Var. ? latipetala, Hemsl., foliis ovatis fere glabris supra medium 

 paucidentatis, pedicellis calycibusque puberulis, petalis venosis 

 2-3 lineas latis. 



Chekiang : Ningpo (Cooper !). Herb. Kew. 



This may prove specifically distinct ; but we have seen only 

 one specimen, and that in flower.
