I formerly was unable to find clear distinctions in the descriptions of R. Swinhoei 
Hance and R. hupehensis; therefore I combined the two species. Now I think, 
however, that there are constant characters by which the two plants can be dis- 
tinguished. R. Swinhoei is evergreen, whereas R. hupehensis seems to have de- 
ciduous leaves. 
Rubus Henryi Hemsley & Kuntze in Jour. Linn. Soc. XXIII. 
231 (1887). — Focke in Bibl. Bot. LXXII. 43 (Spec. Rub.) (1910).

Ternate and simply trifid leaves occur on the same branches of Mr. Wilson's 
Specimens. This shows that R. bambusarum cannot be separated from R. Henryi.
