Kwangtung : Lofaushan (Ford, 113 !). Herb. Kevv. 



Tliis differs from L. Fordii, with which, from some oversight, 

 Hance confused it, in the larger, less acuminate leaves with more 

 numerous, strigillose, primary veins, and in the larger strigillose 

 fruit. We nave named and described this in the absence of 

 flowers in consequence of this confusion. 



There is an allied, probably undescribed species in the Kew 

 Herbarium, from Mount Omei, Szechuen, collected by the 

 Eev. E. Faber, with variegated leaves, but the specimen bears 

 only very young fruit.
