SZECHUEN : near Tachienlu (Pratt, 61!). Herb. Kew. 
Probably speeimens collected by Dr. Henry in the province of 
Hoen (5381 A & 5381 B) and in the province of SzECHUEN at 
S. Wushan (5381 C) belong to this species, but the tuber bears 
two leaves, the leaflets are all much broader, the middle one 
being elliptie-rhomboid and nearly as broad as long, and the 
spathe appears to have a very short tail. Henry's 5381, however, 
from the province of Hupen, has the middle leaflet oblong in 
form and more like that of A. pictum, but the lateral leaflets are 
stalked. All these may be forms of one variable species, but 
more material with perfect spathes are needed to decide. Mus.
