Western Szech’uan: Tachien-lu, woods, alt. 1800 m., May 1908 
(No. 977 as to flowering branches; the fruiting branches belong to 
P. bicolor); Mupin, woodlands, alt. 1500-1800 m., June 1908 (No. 
2845, as to flowering branches; the fruiting branches belong to P. pubi- 
gera); Wa-shan, woodlands, alt. 1800-2100 m., June 1908 (No. 2844). 
This species seems to bear in its habit a rather striking resemblance to cer- 
tain forms until now referred to P. demissa Walpers.
