Western Szech'uan: thickets, Nin-tou-shan, west of Kuan Hsien, 
alt. 3000 m., June 1908 (No. 1874); Mong-kong-ting, June 1908 (No. 
1876); northeast of Sungpan, thickets, alt. 2400 m., August 1910 
(No. 4479). 
The chief difference between this variety and the type lies in the generally 
larger, more oblong-ovate leaves, their softer pubescence, the narrower bracts and 
the less setose corolla. 
As I have stated before (Rhodora, XI. 210), the section Vesicariae proposed by 
Komarov and adopted by me in my Synopsis of the genus must be united with the 
Chlamydocarpi; the cupula is not adnate to the base of the calyx, only firmly ad- 
hering by matted hairs, and splits at maturity disclosing the bright red berries.
