 district (A. Henry !). Herb. Kew. 



Closely allied to Rulus innominatus, S. Moore, and possibly 

 only an eglandular variety of that species. It has the same 

 terete, shortly and densely tomentose branchlets, and the leaflets 

 are quite similar in texture, indumentum, and shape, except that 

 in our species there is no tendency to trilobation in the terminal 

 one. Further, Moore describes his innominatus as having "foliis 

 [inferioribus] bijugatim pinnatis," and the whole inflorescence 

 is thickly beset with stipitate glands ; while B. Kuntzeanus is 

 perfectly glandless, and all the leaves, on branches bearing as 

 many as six or seven, are trifoliolate, without any indication of 

 another pair of leaflets. Moore does not describe the terminal 

 leaflet of his plant as trilobate, though such is the case. 



This species is dedicated to Dr. Otto Kuntze, who is working 

 at Kew at the present time, and whose unrivalled knowledge of 

 the simple-leaved Bubi has been exercised greatly to our ad van- 

 tage in the elucidation of the Chinese species.
