Species novae ex »Hookers Icones Plantarum“. 267 
glabrescentia, nitida; venae primariae utrinque circiter 9, supra im- 
pressae, subtus elevatae in dentes setaceos excurrentes. Ramuli floriferi 
axillares, saepius (an semper?) folio evoluto unico instructi, 5—7,5 cm 
longi; foliorum immaturorum stipulae ovato-rotundatae, 14—18 cm longae, 
per anthesin folia juvenilia occultantes, extus dense sericeotomentosae, 
intus minus hirsutae; bracteae et bracteolae stipulis similes, minores. 
Flores glabri. Calycis dentes minuti, fere obsoleti. Petala lineari-spathu- 
lata, circiter 5 mm longa. Stamina petalis breviora stylos excedentia, 
filamentis filiformibus. Nectaria 5, crassa, carnosa, apice truncata vel 
concava. Ovarium sessile, late affixum, glabrum, parietibus crassis; 
styli erecti, apice recurvi. Capsula matura non visa, glabra, stylis diver- 
gentibus coronata.

This species has several characters in common with C. multiflora 
Hance (tab. nostr. 2820, ff. 10-13), including fleshy, truncate nectaries, 
and a thick-walled ovary. It has elongated, lateral flowering branches 
bearing one adult leaf, as well as young leaves concealed by the large 
stipules. In C. multiflora the flowering branches bear about three adult 
leaves, as well as young ones. 
Corylopsis Wilsoni and C. multiflora Hance, differ from the other 
Chinese and Japanese species in having one or more developed leaves 
on the lateral flowering branches in addition to the undeveloped ones, 
which are more or less concealed by their large stipules at the time 
that the flowers expand. They also differ from the others in the large 
stipules of the flowering branches being very hairy on the outside, and 
in having thick, truncate nectaries. C. manipurensis Hemsl. (hujus operis, 
t. 2820, ff. 5 et 6) has a developed leaf on the flowering branches at 
the time of expansion, but apparently no undeveloped ones.

A speciebus omnibus hactenus cognitis ovario fere libero in tubo 
calycis incluso differt. 
Frutex vel arbor parva ramulis gracillimis glabrescentibus. Folia 
matura non visa. Ramuli florigeri cum spicis breves; stipulae rotun- 
datae; extus fere glabrae; folia statu valde immaturo tantum visa. Flores 
omnibus partibus glabri, conferti; bracteae et bracteolae extus fere 
glabrae. Calycis lobi ovato-oblongi, obtusi, circiter 2 mm longi, tubo 
paulo longiores. Petala lanceolato-spathulata, 6—8 mm longa, obtusa, 
‘7-striata. Stamina petala aequantia. Nectarii squamae complanatae, 
bidentatae, dentibus acutis, sepalis breviores. Capsula ignota.
