At the request of Mr. Wilson, I have affixed to this species the name 
of Mr. C. Haines Watson, of the Chinese Maritime Customs Service. 
Mr. Watson accompanied Mr. Wilson in bis first journey to Sung Pan. 
The prolongation of the pulvinus into a short erect petiole is very marked 
in this species. 
5. Picea asperata Mast., |. c., p. 419. 
Arbor ramis vetustioribus crebris aurantiacis, pulvinis oblongis seta- 
ceis apice angustatis foras deflexis, cicatrices quadrangulares. Gemmae 
conicae, perulis pallide ferrugineis, deltoideo-lanceolatis, resiniferis vestitae. 
Folia 12—15 mm long., linearia curvata, quadrangulares inter-angulos 
prominentes stomatifera dorso ad apicem fastigata. Strobili 8—9 cm 
long., 12—14 mm lat., cylindrato-oblongi. Bracteae oblongo-spatulatae 
apiculatae squamis multo breviores. Squamae appressae subcoriaceae 
pallidae fuscae basi angustatae, apice rotundatae subintegrae. Seminis 
ala erecta membranacea, pallide ferruginea, oblonga obtusa, squama parum 
brevior. 
China occident., prope Tibetam in silvis prope Sung Pan, alt. 
6000—11000 ped. (Wilson 3025!). 
Similar to P. Watsoniana, which grows in the same district but at a 
lower elevation. It differs in the bark, in the pulvini (which in this 
species are setose and less distinctly petioled), in the more lanceolate 
bud-scales, in the leaves, in the larger cones, and in other details. 
Possibly the examination of a larger series of specimens would show 
intermediate conditions, proving that these characteristics are not to be 
absolutely depended on as points of distinction. 
6. Picea aurantiaca Mast., 1. c., p. 420. 
Arbor 15—40-ped.; ramis vetulis glabris aurantiacis; pulvini glabri 
nitentes, lineari-oblongi, superne vix constricti exerti patuli, cicatrices 
subquadrangulares, Perulae late ovatae membranaceae ferrugineae. Folia 
ad 15 mm linearia curvata quadrangulata inter angulos prominentes sto- 
matifera ad apicem cartilagineo-mucronata. Strobili immaturi penduli 
5—6 cm long., oblongi, purpurascentes. Bracteae? Squamae subcoriaceae 
appressae violaceae, parte superiore rotundatae violaceae. 
China occident, prov. Szechuan in silvis ad alt. 12000 ped. 
(Wilson 3029!). 
A species remarkable for the deep orange-coloured bark and the linear 
pulvini, scarcely, if at all, dilated at the apex.
