CAPRIFOLIACEAE. — ABELIA 127 
11. Abelia tereticalyx Rehder, n. comb. 
Linnaea tereticalyx Graebner in Bot. Jahrb. X XIX. 130 (1900). 
China: Szechuan: Tibet frontier, alt. 3000-4500 m., A. E. Pratt (No. 136). 
Of this species I have seen only a specimen of Pratt’s No. 136 without fully de- 
veloped flowers. It seems closely related to A. Schumannii, but differs in the 
smaller flowers and in the narrower leaves.

I have seen no specimen of this species. According to the descriptions the differ- 
ences between this and the following seem very slight and both may belong to the 
same species.
