Western Szech’uan: Mupin, woodlands, alt. 1600-2400 m., 
June and August 1908 (No. 831°, type); alt. 2300 m., June 1908 (Nos. 
1859, 1860); alt. 2400-2700 m., September 1910 (No. 4214); around 
Sungpan, upland, rocky places, alt. 3000-3500 m., August 1910 (No.

_ Lonicera Schneideriana resembles in foliage L. szechuanica Batalin, which differs 
in the stamens being shorter than the corolla-lobes, in the longer bracts and in the 
glabrous style. Lonicera shensiensis Rehder is distinguished chiefly by the shorter 
stamens and the presence of bractlets, while L. serpyllifolia Rehder differs in the 
smaller somewhat hairy leaves, the ovate bracts and shorter peduncles. No. 1859 
differs from the type in the generally oblanceolate leaves, 2-3 cm. long. No. 1860 
is still more different but hardly sufficiently different to be made the type of another 
species; it has a shorter distinctly gibbous corolla, shorter calyx and glabrous 
style, but otherwise, particularly in the foliage, the short bracts and in the slightly 
exserted anthers, it agrees with the type. i 
I take pleasure in associating with this species the name of Mr. C. K. Schneider, 
whose Illustriertes Handbuch der Laubholzkunde contains many valuable contribu- 
tions to the knowledge of Chinese trees and shrubs.
